About our TR19 inspection in Cackle Street
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Cackle Street and the rest of East Sussex. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and extracts that have never been grease tested, on wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys.
For a kitchen in or near Cackle Street, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
What we are called out for in Cackle Street
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Conquest Hospital (about 3.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Visits to a village like Cackle Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cackle Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 go through it with you.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

TR19 inspection in Cackle Street: the local picture
In Cackle Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. At about 49 miles from central London, Cackle Street sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brede Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere in Cackle Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Cackle Street is about 5 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Sites in Cackle Street get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Cackle Street is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex where we work for TR19 inspection. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 23 miles from Cackle Street.
Work in TN31 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
