TR19 inspection in Eastergate, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before 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. If you’re dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Eastergate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean won’t put right
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Eastergate
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. In a small place like Eastergate, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

What TR19 inspection looks like in Eastergate
There are about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastergate, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Eastergate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Eastergate is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Eastergate CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St George's Church or elsewhere in Eastergate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 3.4 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Eastergate is about 4 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We provide TR19 inspection for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Eastergate and the rest of West Sussex.

Questions from Eastergate
Can the work in Eastergate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Eastergate keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire service covers Eastergate?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eastergate. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is Eastergate in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Eastergate.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Eastergate
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
