TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Winchmore Hill
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Winchmore Hill and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you have kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Winchmore Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Other services in Winchmore Hill
Do you need TR19 inspection in Winchmore Hill?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amersham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Winchmore Hill, about 1.7 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
TR19 inspection around Winchmore Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Winchmore Hill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Winchmore Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Winchmore Hill sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Coleshill Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Winchmore Hill (Hughenden Manor is about 4.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Questions from Winchmore Hill
Can the work in Winchmore Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Winchmore Hill can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Winchmore Hill?
Yes, Winchmore Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Insurer audits
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a village or hamlet like Winchmore Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
