Common questions in Bewbush
Do you work at weekends in Bewbush?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bewbush keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bewbush?
The local authority for Bewbush is Crawley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work in Bewbush?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bewbush, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
TR19 inspection in Bewbush
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In a smaller place like Bewbush, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Bewbush
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Never cook with filters missing
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Your opening hours decide when we come to Bewbush, not ours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
If you need TR19 inspection in Bewbush, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Bewbush
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bewbush
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Bewbush than wait for a failure.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

TR19 inspection around Bewbush
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bewbush. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bewbush. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Bewbush get their food hygiene inspections from Crawley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like The Bewbush Academy for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Crawley Hospital about 1.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Alban's or anywhere around Bewbush, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
