What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Cocking Causeway
Taking on a kitchen in Cocking Causeway with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. Common call-outs are for confirming a clean reached the whole system and missing access panels found on survey, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks.
In a small place like Cocking Causeway, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Cocking Causeway is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Common problems we fix in Cocking Causeway
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Cocking Causeway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone

- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit

Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Cocking Causeway sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Questions from Cocking Causeway
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cocking Causeway?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Cocking Causeway?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Cocking Causeway can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so following it is the sensible course.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
