Common questions in Strand-on-the-Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Strand-on-the-Green?
That’s Richmond-Upon-Thames council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Strand-on-the-Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can a school canteen extract in Strand-on-the-Green be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 38 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Strand-on-the-Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
Do you work in Strand-on-the-Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Strand-on-the-Green included.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, so ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll plan it.
About our TR19 inspection in Strand-on-the-Green
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. We are often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
In a London area like Strand-on-the-Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Strand-on-the-Green?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
A hospital like Barnes Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
TR19 inspection in Strand-on-the-Green: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 65 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Strand-on-the-Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Richmond-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Strand-on-the-Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
A kitchen near Chiswick station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like Strand-on-the-Green Infant and Nursery School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In Strand-on-the-Green, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
