TR19 inspection in West Green
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in West Green and the rest of Greater London. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, across deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a London area like West Green, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a London area like West Green, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What TR19 inspection looks like in West Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 50 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in West Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Haringey council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Green. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Philip the Apostle or elsewhere in West Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Greentrees Hospital, about 1.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like West Green Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Questions from West Green
Who inspects food businesses in West Green?
Food hygiene inspections in West Green are carried out by Haringey council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in West Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in West Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
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 ahead of the clean.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will plan it.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
