About our TR19 inspection in Burwash
Taking on a kitchen in Burwash with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are uncertainty over how often to clean and sites with gaps in their extract records.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere as small as Burwash, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Burwash: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Burwash?
Food hygiene inspections in Burwash are carried out by Rother council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Burwash be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Burwash keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much time does an inspection need?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. System size and access decide the rest.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
When to call us in Burwash
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Burwash, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Burwash
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Burwash is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
