TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Beckley
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 extracts that have never been grease tested and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help.
In a small place like Beckley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Beckley has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Beckley is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Beckley?
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Beckley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is 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, next to our reports.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Questions from Beckley
Which environmental health team covers Beckley?
Food hygiene inspections in Beckley are carried out by Rother council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Beckley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Beckley run smoothly.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
