What the work involves, part by part

School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Coolham
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Coolham and the rest of West Sussex. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about extracts that have never been grease tested and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Coolham, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why act early in Coolham
If a kitchen in Coolham has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Coolham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

TR19 inspection in Coolham: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around Coolham, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Coolham 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. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Coolham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as William Penn School or anywhere near Coolham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Mission Church, or anywhere in Coolham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How we price TR19 inspection
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
FAQs for Coolham
Which council inspects kitchens in Coolham?
Food hygiene inspections in Coolham are carried out by Horsham council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Coolham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Coolham included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a small place like Coolham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
