Do you need TR19 inspection in East Chiltington?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in East Chiltington shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
A kitchen near Plumpton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in East Chiltington
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like East Chiltington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.

FAQs for East Chiltington
Do you work at weekends in East Chiltington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in East Chiltington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like East Chiltington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Chiltington is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Is a quote from photos 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.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. Planning a trip to East Chiltington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
