What happens if it’s left?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. A planned visit to Broomershill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Broomershill
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Typical jobs include surveys needed before quoting a full clean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits.
For a kitchen in or near Broomershill, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broomershill
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Broomershill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Broomershill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Broomershill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Broomershill is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Broomershill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Broomershill questions
Can you come to Broomershill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Broomershill?
Yes. Broomershill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What is grease thickness testing?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Common problems we fix in Broomershill
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing access panels found on survey
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broomershill (Old Place Manor is about 1 mile west), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Broomershill
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Broomershill knowing what to expect.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
