East Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
TR19 inspections and grease testing in Berwick, East Sussex
TR19 inspections and grease testing for commercial sites in Berwick and across East Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Why act early in Berwick
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In a place like Berwick, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
TR19 inspection in Berwick, done properly
Before any clean in Berwick, 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 are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and surveys needed before quoting a full clean, we can help, from access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Berwick, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Berwick kitchens: local notes
We cover Berwick, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Berwick. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Charleston Farmhouse is about 2.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hellingly Hospital Railway about 5.4 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Berwick (Sussex) station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Other landmarks nearby include Hellingly Hospital Railway (5.4 miles north-east) and Drusillas Museum (1.2 miles south). Open spaces near Berwick include Firle Beacon.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Berwick
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Berwick?
The local authority for Berwick is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work at weekends in Berwick?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Berwick needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The timing of a visit to Berwick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
