TR19 inspections and grease testing in Roxeth, Greater London
TR19 inspection across Roxeth and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Common problems we fix in Roxeth
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Roxeth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Roxeth
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and people most often call us about insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Roxeth is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

TR19 inspection around Roxeth
Food Standards Agency records list about 259 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 110 takeaways across Roxeth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Harrow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Roxeth. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A hospital like Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 0.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For kitchens close to Sudbury Hill Harrow station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Roxeth: your questions answered
Can the work in Roxeth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Roxeth needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Roxeth?
Roxeth is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
