TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tisman's Common
Any kitchen we clean in Tisman's Common gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Kitchens in Tisman's Common book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Tisman's Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Tisman's Common
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tisman's Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Tisman's Common are carried out by Horsham council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Tisman's Common?
Yes, Tisman's Common is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Tisman's Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A planned visit to Tisman's Common is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

When to call us in Tisman's Common
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Tisman's Common, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Tisman's Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tisman's Common
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What affects the quote in Tisman's Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
