TR19 inspections and grease testing in Durrington, West Sussex
TR19 inspection for Durrington, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Everything the job in Durrington needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
TR19 inspection in Durrington, done properly
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 Durrington and the rest of West Sussex. Typical jobs include missing access panels found on survey and confirming a clean reached the whole system, on access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
In a smaller place like Durrington, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Common questions in Durrington
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Durrington?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Durrington gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you cover smaller places like Durrington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Durrington included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why act early in Durrington
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, while there’s still time to put anything right. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured

When to call us in Durrington
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
A hospital like The Acre, about 2.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured

Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
Durrington kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Durrington. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 19 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Durrington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Durrington is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Durrington (Ecclesden Manor is about 2.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near St Symphorian's Church, or anywhere in Durrington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Durrington is about 1 mile north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Anywhere in BN13, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, Durrington among them. There’s also a page for Brighton, roughly 12 miles from Durrington.
All of BN13 and BN12 is covered for TR19 inspection, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Lyn Road, New Road and Tavy Road, and we cover them all for TR19 inspection. Durrington is on the A2032, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. Neighbouring places we cover for TR19 inspection include Cote (1 mile north-west), High Salvington (1 mile north), Goring-by-Sea (2 miles south), Clapham (2 miles north-west) and Patching (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (12 miles west), Burgess Hill (15 miles north-east), Littlehampton (5 miles west), Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east), Lancing (4 miles east) and Rustington (4 miles west).
Near you in Durrington
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Durrington Minature Railway, Coach And Horses Public House and Palatine Primary School. The closest station to Durrington is Durrington-On-Sea station, about 1.3 miles south. A little further out are The Acre (2.2 miles south-east) and Museum of Sussex Folklore (1.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Highdown Hill.
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- A faulty or failing extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
