TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Ansty
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for confirming a clean reached the whole system and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Ansty, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Ansty
Do you cover smaller places like Ansty?
Yes, Ansty is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Ansty?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ansty. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Why survey before a clean?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Ansty, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Ansty
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Ansty, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
TR19 inspection in Ansty: the local picture
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Ansty, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. The fire and rescue service for Ansty is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Ansty are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Warden Park School or anywhere near Ansty, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ansty is The Dene Hospital, about 2 miles south.
