TR19 inspection in Ruislip Manor
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right.
In a London area like Ruislip Manor, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Think of the report as the 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 and sits alongside the report.

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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Expect the work in Ruislip Manor to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Ruislip Manor questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Ruislip Manor?
Kitchens in Ruislip Manor are inspected by Hillingdon council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ruislip Manor?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Ruislip Manor. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What affects the quote in Ruislip Manor
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Ruislip Manor kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 20 pubs and bars registered in and around Ruislip Manor, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Ruislip Manor get their food hygiene inspections from Hillingdon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Ruislip Manor falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ickenham Hall is about 1.5 miles south-west), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Ruislip Manor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we’re called out for in Ruislip Manor
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital (about 2.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
