TR19 inspection in Abingworth, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We’re often asked to deal with missing access panels found on survey and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
In a small place like Abingworth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Abingworth
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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.

Questions from Abingworth
Can you come to Abingworth after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Abingworth?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Abingworth?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why act early in Abingworth
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Abingworth a current picture. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Abingworth
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
For schools such as Thakeham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
Abingworth kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Abingworth get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Abingworth sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Parham House is about 3.1 miles south-west), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Abingworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Abingworth is about 8 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Abingworth gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Abingworth among them. We also work in Brighton, about 15 miles from Abingworth.
Every address in RH20 is within our area for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes premises on Abingworth Crescent, Chestnut Drive and Shelley Place and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Thakeham (1 mile north-east), Warminghurst (1 mile east), Heath Common (1 mile south-east), West Chiltington Common (1 mile west) and West Chiltington (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Horsham (10 miles north-east), Worthing (8 miles south), Bognor Regis (15 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (15 miles east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (10 miles south-west).
Landmarks near Abingworth
Typical jobs here are in premises near Rydon Community College, among other places. Abingworth’s nearest station is Pulborough station, about 3.9 miles west of the centre. A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (1.6 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve and Chanctonbury Hill.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere like Abingworth, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
