TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Tulse Hill
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. We are often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
In a London area like Tulse Hill, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Tulse Hill
Can the work in Tulse Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Tulse Hill can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tulse Hill?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Tulse Hill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is post-clean verification?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tulse Hill
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In Tulse Hill, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

- A fixed price before any work starts
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Tulse Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Common problems we fix in Tulse Hill
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
School kitchens, at schools like St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
What TR19 inspection looks like in Tulse Hill
Look up Tulse Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 315 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 145 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tulse Hill. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Fire safety in Tulse Hill falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Tulse Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For kitchens close to Tulse Hill station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tulse Hill
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Tulse Hill.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
