- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and we clear up before we go. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Stroud Green.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
About our TR19 inspection in Stroud Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
Kitchens in Stroud Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
TR19 inspection around Stroud Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 68 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stroud Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Food hygiene inspections in Stroud Green are the job of Haringey council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Stroud Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near Harringay station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as St Aidan's Voluntary Controlled Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Stroud Green: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Stroud Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Stroud Green makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Can the work in Stroud Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How often should grease be tested?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work in Stroud Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Stroud Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.

What affects the quote in Stroud Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud Green
Sites in Stroud Green that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
