TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Brighton Hill
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with missing access panels found on survey and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can put it right, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Brighton Hill gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Brighton Hill
Grease in a duct is flammable 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 2.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Brighton Hill questions
Do you work at weekends in Brighton Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Brighton Hill needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Brighton Hill?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Around Brighton Hill, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
