TR19 inspection in Stonebridge Park
Taking on a kitchen in Stonebridge Park with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you are dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can help, from deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Kitchens in Stonebridge Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Stonebridge Park
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
If you run a café or takeaway near Stonebridge Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing

What else we do in Stonebridge Park
Stonebridge Park kitchens: local notes
There are about 312 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 295 takeaways in and around Stonebridge Park, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Stonebridge Park are the job of Brent council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael the Archangel or elsewhere in Stonebridge Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Our Lady of Lourdes RC Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Stonebridge Park: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stonebridge Park out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 41 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stonebridge Park. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Stonebridge Park after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Stonebridge Park keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Stonebridge Park is normally out of hours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
