Lower Farringdon questions
Do you work overnight in Lower Farringdon?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Lower Farringdon needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Farringdon?
Kitchens in Lower Farringdon are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you cover Lower Farringdon?
Yes. Lower Farringdon is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll plan it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lower Farringdon
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. The work covers post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about systems that need surveying before cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lower Farringdon run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Lower Farringdon
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
What we are most often called out for:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Lower Farringdon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
