- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

About our TR19 inspection in The Hyde
Taking on a kitchen in The Hyde with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. If you’re dealing with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in The Hyde, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
What TR19 inspection looks like in The Hyde
Food Standards Agency data counts about 178 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops across The Hyde and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The Hyde is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In The Hyde, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brent council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Andrew's Hospital about 1.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hyde School or anywhere near The Hyde, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Do you need TR19 inspection in The Hyde?
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:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Commuter trade near Hendon station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in The Hyde needs from us.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading

The Hyde: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in The Hyde?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in The Hyde?
The Hyde is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How often should grease be tested?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
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 expects a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Managing agents and facilities teams in The Hyde
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
