TR19 inspection in Climping

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Climping

Taking on a kitchen in Climping 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. If you’re dealing with confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, we can put it right, from insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.

Work in a small place like Climping starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Inside an extract duct: heavy deposits on the left, cleaned metal on the right

What we do, step by step

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself 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 Climping run smoothly.

  1. After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
  2. We open the access points used on the clean.
  3. We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
  4. Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
  5. We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Before we arrive

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

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. That is our job.

TR19 inspection in Climping: the local picture

Climping lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 17 takeaways and sandwich shops in Climping and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Climping is West 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.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 4.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Climping, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens if it’s left?

Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. Somewhere as small as Climping, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:

  • Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
  • Design faults in the extract system
  • The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on in Climping

  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Access surveys
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Post-clean checks
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Insurer audits

Do you need TR19 inspection in Climping?

Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing access panels found on survey
  • Systems that need surveying before cleaning
  • Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
  • An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • File every inspection report with your certificates
  • Keep the route to access panels clear
  • Book the next test on the date in the report
  • Flag oily drips near the extract

For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.

Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.

FAQs for Climping

Is Climping within the area you cover?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Climping included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Which fire authority looks after Climping?

That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Can the work be done while we’re closed?

Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.

What is post-clean verification?

A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, whoever did the clean.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

What types of premises do you cover?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
