About our TR19 inspection in Northumberland Park
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are parts of the system left out of past cleans and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Northumberland Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Northumberland Park
Who inspects food businesses in Northumberland Park?
The local authority for Northumberland Park is Haringey council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Northumberland Park outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Northumberland Park can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Northumberland Park?
Yes. Northumberland Park is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Northumberland Park?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Northumberland Park.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Northumberland Park
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.

Kitchen extracts in Northumberland Park
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 40 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Northumberland Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Northumberland Park is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A kitchen near Northumberland Park (London) station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; North Middlesex University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Northumberland Park, about 0.9 miles north-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lea Valley Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
