TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in East Worthing
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you’re dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Around a smaller place like East Worthing, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a smaller place like East Worthing, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

East Worthing kitchens: local notes
East Worthing is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 58 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels and guest houses in East Worthing and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in East Worthing get their food hygiene inspections from Worthing council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Worthing Hospital about 0.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around East Worthing station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in East Worthing
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lyndhurst Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

FAQs for East Worthing
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Worthing?
Food hygiene inspections in East Worthing are carried out by Worthing council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Worthing?
East Worthing is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
TR19 inspection cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
