About our TR19 inspection in Dallington
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
In a small place like Dallington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Dallington
Do you cover smaller places like Dallington?
Yes. Dallington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Dallington?
Kitchens in Dallington are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
What information do you need?
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. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged ahead of the clean.
What happens if it’s left?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. An inspection now gives a site in Dallington a current picture. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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 any work starts.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Dallington
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
TR19 inspection around Dallington
We cover Dallington, about 43 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Dallington is covered by East 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.
A hospital like Hellingly Hospital, about 5.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bateman's is about 3.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Giles, or anywhere in Dallington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Dallington is about 7 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Dallington, TR19 inspection is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Dallington is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover for commercial clients.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Dallington run smoothly.

Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
