North Hyde TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in North Hyde on TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in North Hyde is usually out of hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Advice
How we handle TR19 inspection in North Hyde
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you are dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In North Hyde, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in North Hyde

Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. A busy site in North Hyde builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What TR19 inspection looks like in North Hyde
Look up North Hyde on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 228 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 91 takeaways across North Hyde and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. London Fire Brigade covers North Hyde. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In North Hyde, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near St Leonard's Church, or anywhere in North Hyde, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.

Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in North Hyde
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Look out for any of the following:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Hyde is St Bernard's Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-east.

FAQs for North Hyde
Can you work in North Hyde outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in North Hyde needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers North Hyde?
Food hygiene inspections in North Hyde are carried out by Hounslow council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you cover North Hyde?
Yes. North Hyde is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
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 grease readings help set the real interval.
