TR19 inspection in East Marden, done properly
Before any clean in East Marden, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you have insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right.
In a small place like East Marden, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to East Marden.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
East Marden questions
Which fire service covers East Marden?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers East Marden. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is East Marden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
When should we have our next grease test?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Book the next test on the date in the report
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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 to call us in East Marden
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, which is why readings matter.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Historic houses near East Marden, such as Uppark about 2.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What affects the quote in East Marden
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
