How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
TR19 inspection in Strawberry Hill, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Typical jobs include systems that need surveying before cleaning and sites with gaps in their extract records, on pre-clean surveys, access surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Strawberry Hill is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Strawberry Hill
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If your building in Strawberry Hill 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.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Strawberry Hill kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 43 pubs and bars across Strawberry Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Strawberry Hill are the job of Richmond-Upon-Thames 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. The fire and rescue service for Strawberry Hill is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you cook for passing trade around Strawberry Hill station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 0.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Strawberry Hill
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kneller Hall Senior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
