Boreham Street questions
Do you work overnight in Boreham Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Boreham Street?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Boreham Street. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
TR19 inspection in Boreham Street
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. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Work in a small place like Boreham Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

In-house cleaning or 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Boreham Street
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 one of these:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amberstone Hospital about 4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Boreham Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
