TR19 inspection in Manor House, done properly
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are checking the result of a recent clean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Manor House, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Manor House
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you cook for passing trade around Harringay Green Lanes station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
FAQs for Manor House
Is parking a problem for work in Manor House?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Manor House, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Manor House?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Manor House. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Manor House?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

TR19 inspection around Manor House
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 68 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Manor House and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Manor House are the job of Hackney council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Manor House is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Manor House is City of London Maternity Hospital, about 1 mile west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Olave, or anywhere in Manor House, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Manor House
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
