TR19 inspection in Arundel, done properly
Before any clean in Arundel, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you’re dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Arundel gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Arundel.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Arundel
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we are called out for in Arundel
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
If you cook for passing trade around Arundel station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If they look at the system before pricing
Questions from Arundel
Do you cover smaller places like Arundel?
Yes, Arundel is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Arundel?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Arundel needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Why survey before a clean?
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.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
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.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters do not mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.

What else we do in Arundel
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
Leave it or put it right?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. A planned visit to Arundel fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Arundel
Food Standards Agency records include about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Arundel. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Arundel. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Arundel get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Trinity Congregational Church, or anywhere in Arundel, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about under half a mile north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
