TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Domewood
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. 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 Domewood and the rest of West Sussex. Common call-outs are for sections of duct that can’t be reached and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, across deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits.
In a village or hamlet like Domewood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and pictures are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Common problems we fix in Domewood
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Historic houses near Domewood, such as Saint Hill Manor about 3.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Domewood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
TR19 inspection around Domewood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Domewood. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Domewood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Domewood is 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.
