TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Bodle Street Green
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Bodle Street Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bodle Street Green?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bodle Street Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Bodle Street Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bodle Street Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will plan it.

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bodle Street Green.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Bodle Street Green
Kitchens in Bodle Street Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bodle Street Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Historic houses near Bodle Street Green, such as Horselunges Manor about 4.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Bodle Street Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Bodle Street Green is about 5 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Bodle Street Green
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amberstone Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bodle Street Green, about 3.6 miles south-west.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
What affects the quote in Bodle Street Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
