Adversane questions
Is Adversane within the area you cover?
Yes. Adversane is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Adversane?
In Adversane, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
TR19 inspection in Adversane, done properly
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Adversane and the rest of West Sussex. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a small place like Adversane, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Adversane.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Adversane
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Weald School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

The fire and rescue service for Adversane is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Adversane (Old Place Manor is about 3.2 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
