TR19 Inspection in Tyburn
Specialist TR19 inspection for Tyburn: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Tyburn
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. If you have checking the result of a recent clean and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help, from access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Kitchens in Tyburn, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Tyburn a current picture. A building in Tyburn may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. For a job in Tyburn, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Honest limits
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

TR19 inspection in Tyburn: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 162 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 247 hotels and B&Bs registered across Tyburn and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Tyburn sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School or anywhere near Tyburn, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of the Annunciation, or anywhere in Tyburn, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Fortius Clinic, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Tyburn: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Tyburn during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Tyburn, the Food Standards Agency lists about 78 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Tyburn after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Tyburn needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
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.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
What’s 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.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you cover Tyburn?
Yes. We cover Tyburn and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
