What affects the quote in Cocking
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Cocking
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. If you are dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help.
Work in a small place like Cocking starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Kitchen extracts in Cocking
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cocking. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Cocking are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Cocking is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Catherine of Siena Church, or anywhere in Cocking, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Cowdray House, about 2.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Cocking; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Cocking is about 8 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Wherever you are in the GU29 postcode area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Cocking
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
What we are most often called out for:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cocking is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 3 miles north.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cocking, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Questions from Cocking
Which council inspects kitchens in Cocking?
Kitchens in Cocking are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Cocking be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Cocking can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Do you cover Cocking?
Yes. Cocking is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
