TR19 Inspection in Bevendean
Professional TR19 inspection in and around Bevendean, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
TR19 inspection in Bevendean, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Bevendean, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Bevendean kitchens: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Bevendean is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 30 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Bevendean. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Brighton and Hove council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bevendean. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Bevendean Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Brighton General Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When to call us in Bevendean
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Bevendean shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Nativity Community Project or elsewhere in Bevendean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Bevendean: your questions answered
Does coastal air change anything about TR19 inspection in Bevendean?
It can. Bevendean is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who inspects food businesses in Bevendean?
In Bevendean, it’s Brighton and Hove council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work in Bevendean?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Bevendean.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What happens if it’s left?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Booking now means the visit to Bevendean is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
We are 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 anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We plan the journey to Bevendean and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
