TR19 inspection in Ebernoe
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Ebernoe and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. We are often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, on post-clean checks, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Ebernoe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Ebernoe
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ebernoe?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ebernoe. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Ebernoe?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ebernoe included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures 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 our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Design faults in the extract system
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

TR19 inspection in Ebernoe: the local picture
Fire safety in Ebernoe falls to 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. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ebernoe. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ebernoe is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 5.3 miles north-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Ebernoe, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Ebernoe is about 13 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Across the GU28 area, we can take on TR19 inspection. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Ebernoe is one of them. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 14 miles from Ebernoe.
Our technicians cover all of GU28 for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. If your site is just outside Ebernoe, we cover Northchapel (2 miles north-west), Lurgashall (2 miles west), Shillinglee (3 miles north), Lickfold (3 miles west) and Ramsnest Common (4 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Horsham (13 miles east), Storrington (11 miles south-east), Billingshurst (7 miles east), Roffey (14 miles east), Yapton (15 miles south) and Southwater (12 miles east).
What’s near Ebernoe
A little further out are Haslemere and District Hospital (5.3 miles north-west) and Lodsworth Castle (4.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Shillinglee Lake and Blackdown.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Ebernoe
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Petworth House is about 3.7 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s 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 the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ebernoe, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
