Coldwaltham TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in Coldwaltham on TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Coldwaltham
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. If you are dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Coldwaltham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

TR19 inspection in Coldwaltham: the local picture
Coldwaltham is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Coldwaltham are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Coldwaltham (Old Place Manor is about 2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Coldwaltham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What else we do in Coldwaltham
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Why act early in Coldwaltham
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. In a place like Coldwaltham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We are fully insured
See our cost guide and our accreditations.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Coldwaltham.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Coldwaltham
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Coldwaltham shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 5.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
