Duncton: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Duncton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Duncton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Duncton?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Duncton. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
About our TR19 inspection in Duncton
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Duncton and across West Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Duncton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Duncton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

TR19 inspection in Duncton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Duncton, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kitchens in Duncton get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Duncton falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Duncton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Duncton is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Duncton CofE Junior School or anywhere near Duncton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Why deal with it now?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. An inspection now gives a site in Duncton a current picture. In a small place like Duncton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
