For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
TR19 inspection in Selhurst
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Selhurst and the rest of Greater London. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys, and the jobs we see most are missing access panels found on survey and checking the result of a recent clean.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Selhurst is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Questions from Selhurst
Can school kitchens in Selhurst be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Selhurst, the Food Standards Agency lists about 36 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire service covers Selhurst?
Fire safety enforcement in Selhurst is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. System size and access decide the rest.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Why act early in Selhurst
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. A booked night’s work in Selhurst costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Photo reports with every job
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

If your building in Selhurst has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Selhurst?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
For schools such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Selhurst kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 41 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels and guest houses across Selhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Selhurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Croydon 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. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
If you cook for passing trade around Norwood Junction station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Selhurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the job changes from site to site

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
