- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
About our TR19 inspection in Cock Marling
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. Typical jobs include sections of duct that can’t be reached and extracts that have never been grease tested, across post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
In a small place like Cock Marling, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cock Marling run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

What else we do in Cock Marling
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Cock Marling
Can you get to a site in Cock Marling?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cock Marling included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Cock Marling?
Cock Marling is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s 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.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cock Marling
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

What affects the quote in Cock Marling
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cock Marling
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we’re called out for in Cock Marling
When a site in Cock Marling changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
In and around Cock Marling, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
