TR19 inspection in Brighton and Hove: how it works
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning.
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.
- 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.

TR19 inspection around Brighton and Hove
From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to its smaller places, Brighton and Hove has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in Brighton and Hove, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Coastal kitchens in Brighton and Hove often have their busiest months in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.
Brighton: Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brighton is Brighton General Hospital, about 0.7 miles east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Brighton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
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
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, well away from where anyone looks.
When it’s something else
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Questions from Brighton and Hove
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
