TR19 inspections and grease testing in Pinner, Greater London
TR19 inspection across Pinner and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Common problems we fix in Pinner
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christian Science Church or elsewhere in Pinner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

About our TR19 inspection in Pinner
Taking on a kitchen in Pinner with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are uncertainty over how often to clean and missing access panels found on survey.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Pinner 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 report is your 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.

TR19 inspection around Pinner
There are about 145 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 63 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pinner, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Pinner get their food hygiene inspections from Harrow council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Headstone Manor, about 1.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Pinner; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as West Lodge Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Pinner
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pinner
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

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 a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system.

- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.

Pinner questions
What do you need to know about parking in Pinner?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Pinner?
Fire safety enforcement in Pinner is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
