TR19 inspection in Willesden Green
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and checking the result of a recent clean.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Willesden Green, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Willesden Green: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Willesden Green?
That’s Brent council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Willesden Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Willesden Green?
Willesden Green is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Willesden Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Willesden Green and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Expect the work in Willesden Green to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.

TR19 inspection around Willesden Green

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
When to call us in Willesden Green
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
A kitchen near Kensal Rise station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
