TR19 inspection in Brooks Green, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Common call-outs are for heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and checking the result of a recent clean, across access surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Brooks Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Brooks Green questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brooks Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Brooks Green is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brooks Green?
In Brooks Green, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Large or multiple systems take longer, so call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll plan it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you work in Brooks Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Brooks Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

What else we do in Brooks Green
When to call us in Brooks Green
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Look out for any of the following:
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Barns Green Primary School or anywhere near Brooks Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Brooks Green
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Brooks Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
TR19 inspection around Brooks 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. Brooks Green, about 36 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brooks Green
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. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Brooks Green is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
