Rowley Green TR19 inspection
We cover Rowley Green for TR19 inspection. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Rowley Green is normally out of hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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.
Advice
How we handle TR19 inspection in Rowley Green
Before any clean in Rowley Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and missing access panels found on survey.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Rowley Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. A busy site in Rowley Green builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Rowley Green
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
School kitchens, at schools like Saffron Green Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Grease, kitchens and Rowley Green
Look up Rowley Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 29 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rowley Green. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Rowley Green are the job of Barnet council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Cross or elsewhere in Rowley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Barnet General Hospital (about 1.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Rowley Green
Can parking be tricky for a job in Rowley Green?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Rowley Green out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Rowley Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Rowley Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you cover Rowley Green?
Yes. We cover Rowley Green and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
What affects the quote in Rowley Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
