TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Duddleswell
Before any clean in Duddleswell, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, across deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Duddleswell, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Duddleswell questions
Do you work in villages like Duddleswell?
Yes, Duddleswell is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Duddleswell?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Duddleswell. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Duddleswell, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
If you need TR19 inspection in Duddleswell, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
