TR19 inspection in Cade Street, 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 gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. We are often asked to deal with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and parts of the system left out of past cleans, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Cade Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cade Street run smoothly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Cade Street
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hellingly Hospital about 5.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
TR19 inspection around Cade Street
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cade Street. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Cade Street sits within the area of East 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. Kitchens in Cade Street get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. 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.
For schools such as Heathfield Community College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Cade Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Cade Street
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cade Street?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cade Street. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Cade Street?
Yes. Cade Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. In a place like Cade Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
