What affects the quote in East Lavant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in East Lavant
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can help.
In a small place like East Lavant, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. Planning a trip to East Lavant ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Lavant
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we are called out for in East Lavant
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East Lavant, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
Common questions in East Lavant
Do you cover smaller places like East Lavant?
Yes, East Lavant is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after East Lavant?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers East Lavant. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
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. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys

- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
