TR19 inspection in Norwood Green
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can help.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Norwood Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Norwood Green
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
For schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary Norwood Green, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, ring 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 pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Norwood Green
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. In Norwood Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every job surveyed first

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Norwood Green is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Grease, kitchens and Norwood Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 29 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and guest houses in Norwood Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Ealing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Norwood Green. 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. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Norwood Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Bernard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Norwood Green, about 1 mile north-east.

Norwood Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Norwood Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Norwood Green are carried out by Ealing council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Norwood Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Norwood Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
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). The results are given in microns.
Do you cover Norwood Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Norwood Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
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 grease readings help set the real interval.

What else we do in Norwood Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
