How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.
TR19 inspection in St Ann's, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in St Ann's with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you have surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in St Ann's is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

TR19 inspection in St Ann's: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 43 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of St Ann's. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Environmental health officers from Haringey council inspect food businesses in St Ann's. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Ann's Church or anywhere around St Ann's, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run a café or takeaway near Seven Sisters station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in St Ann's
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in St Ann's and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

St Ann's: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in St Ann's?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Who is the fire and rescue service for St Ann's?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for St Ann's. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If your building in St Ann's has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in St Ann's?
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like City of London Maternity Hospital about 1.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
