TR19 Inspection in East Hampnett
Need TR19 inspection in East Hampnett? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Never cook with filters missing
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How we handle TR19 inspection in East Hampnett
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about confirming a clean reached the whole system and sites with gaps in their extract records.
In a village or hamlet like East Hampnett, 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, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we’re called out for in East Hampnett
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chichester Centre about 3.4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Grease, kitchens and East Hampnett
There are about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central East Hampnett, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. East Hampnett is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in East Hampnett are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East Hampnett, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Tangmere Primary Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

East Hampnett: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in East Hampnett be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of East Hampnett, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to East Hampnett after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
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 can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How much time does an inspection need?
Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in East Hampnett and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Do not wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. In a place like East Hampnett, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near East Hampnett, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
