Why act early in Broadwater
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. A planned visit to Broadwater fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Broadwater
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A written report with pictures after every visit

TR19 inspection in Broadwater, done properly
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help, from wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Broadwater are often in older buildings or single-storey 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Broadwater
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Grease, kitchens and Broadwater
Sea air reaches Broadwater, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 197 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 72 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Broadwater. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Broadwater sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Broadwater, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Worthing Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Broadwater is about 1 mile east of Worthing, in West Sussex. If you need TR19 inspection in Broadwater, please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote. We work across South East England and London, including Broadwater. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. Brighton is in our area too, around 11 miles away.

We also cover the places around Broadwater: Offington (1 mile north-west), Worthing (1 mile west), Salvington (1 mile north-west), East Worthing (1 mile south-east) and Sompting (2 miles east).

What’s near Broadwater
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Thomas A Becket First School, Bohunt School Worthing and Beach House Park, among other places.

For a walk, there’s Widewater Lagoon and Steep Down.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Hidden runs that need access panels first

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Broadwater
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Broadwater?
It can. Salt air reaches Broadwater, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broadwater?
Fire safety enforcement in Broadwater is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Broadwater, not ours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What we are called out for in Broadwater
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you run a café or takeaway near Worthing station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
