TR19 inspection in Burgh Hill
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We’re often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Questions from Burgh Hill
Can the work in Burgh Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Burgh Hill?
In Burgh Hill, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
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 do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Kitchen extracts in Burgh Hill
Look up Burgh Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burgh Hill. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Burgh Hill is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Burgh Hill are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Etchingham Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 3.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity or anywhere around Burgh Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Burgh Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
