About our TR19 inspection in Angmering-on-Sea
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you have heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Angmering-on-Sea, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common problems we fix in Angmering-on-Sea
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Angmering-on-Sea, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Angmering-on-Sea
Can a school canteen extract in Angmering-on-Sea be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Angmering-on-Sea. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- A faulty or failing extract fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Angmering-on-Sea knowing what to expect.
