About our TR19 inspection in Bramber
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 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. We are often asked to deal with parts of the system left out of past cleans and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, across post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Bramber 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grease, kitchens and Bramber
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bramber. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Bramber. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bramber. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Upper Beeding Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Southlands Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bramber, about 4.1 miles south-east.
Bramber is about 4 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
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.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bramber.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bramber and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Bramber?
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing access panels found on survey
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Bramber, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Bramber
Which fire authority looks after Bramber?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bramber. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Bramber?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bramber included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
