East Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Eastbourne TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection for Eastbourne, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Eastbourne
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. We are often asked to deal with an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
Town-centre kitchens in a place like Eastbourne often sit below flats or offices, and the extract can climb several storeys before it discharges. Vertical risers like that need access panels in the right places, and any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Eastbourne
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Eastbourne
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hospital like Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 0.9 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Grease, kitchens and Eastbourne
Eastbourne is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 217 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 69 sandwich bars and takeaways in Eastbourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Environmental health officers from Eastbourne council inspect food businesses in Eastbourne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Hampden Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stafford Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the quote in Eastbourne
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a site in Eastbourne, tell us about parking, loading and how we reach the roof or plant room.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Eastbourne has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Larger sites in Eastbourne are easier to manage on a planned schedule.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Eastbourne questions
Do you work at weekends in Eastbourne?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Eastbourne can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Eastbourne?
In Eastbourne, it’s Eastbourne council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
