Signs you need TR19 inspection in Roundshaw
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Roundshaw is Purley War Memorial Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
TR19 inspection in Roundshaw
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Roundshaw and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. We are often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Roundshaw is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Roundshaw kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Roundshaw, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Roundshaw get their food hygiene inspections from Sutton council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Roundshaw falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For kitchens close to Wallington station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Paul's or elsewhere in Roundshaw, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Roundshaw
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
How it 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 photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Roundshaw.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not 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.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Roundshaw a current picture. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Roundshaw
Which fire authority looks after Roundshaw?
Roundshaw is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Roundshaw be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Roundshaw keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
