TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Albourne Street
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are checking the result of a recent clean and missing TR19 certificates or history.
Somewhere as small as Albourne Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Questions from Albourne Street
Which council inspects kitchens in Albourne Street?
That’s Mid Sussex council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Albourne Street. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Albourne Street?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Albourne Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you cover Albourne Street?
Yes. Albourne Street is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Albourne Street that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. A fault that closes a site in a village like Albourne Street affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why Albourne Street businesses choose us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Full insurance on every job

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Albourne Street
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars across Albourne Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Albourne Street is covered by West Sussex 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. Food hygiene inspections in Albourne Street are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Albourne CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Albourne Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Albourne Street is about 4 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Albourne Street.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
