How we handle TR19 inspection in South Tottenham
Before any clean in South Tottenham, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in South Tottenham, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in South Tottenham needs from us.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Questions from South Tottenham
Which fire authority looks after South Tottenham?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers South Tottenham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can school kitchens in South Tottenham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around South Tottenham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 45 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Why act early in South Tottenham
If a kitchen in South Tottenham has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Trading since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we are called out for in South Tottenham
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Where a hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in South Tottenham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
South Tottenham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 338 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 125 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Tottenham. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s Haringey council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Tottenham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. South Tottenham sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
