How we price TR19 inspection

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Any previous report or certificate

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Noel Park

Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys.

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. In Noel Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site

Horizontal duct runs

Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.

Extract fan and discharge

The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

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.

Kitchen extracts in Noel Park

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 59 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Noel Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Noel Park. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.

For kitchens close to Alexandra Palace station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Noel Park is Greentrees Hospital, about 1 mile north. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Noel Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Noel Park is about 3 miles north of Highbury, in Greater London. Anywhere in N22, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small. We also work in London, about 7 miles from Noel Park.

Looking after it afterwards

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
  • Book the next test on the date in the report
  • Flag oily drips near the extract
  • Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs

Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.

Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Noel Park

Can parking be tricky for a job in Noel Park?

London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Noel Park?

Food hygiene inspections in Noel Park are carried out by Haringey council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?

Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.

At what point does grease need cleaning?

Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.

Do you work out of hours?

Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.

How often should grease be tested?

It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.

What is grease thickness testing?

It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.

How the visit works

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Noel Park.

  1. We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
  2. The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
  3. We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
  4. Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
  5. You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

What a clean will not put right

TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

  • The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
  • Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
  • Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Noel Park

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
