TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Chithurst
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 grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and extracts that have never been grease tested, across insurer audits, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Chithurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Chithurst
The fire and rescue service for Chithurst is Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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. Chithurst, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Chithurst Church or elsewhere in Chithurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Chithurst is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 2.9 miles east.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What we are called out for in Chithurst
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Chithurst (Cowdray House is about 3.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
What affects the quote in Chithurst
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Chithurst: your questions answered
Can you work in Chithurst outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Chithurst can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chithurst?
The local authority for Chithurst is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Why deal with it now?
Sites in Chithurst that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 will explain each part.
