What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Ferring when you book.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
TR19 inspection in Ferring
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. If you are dealing with missing TR19 certificates or history and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can help, from insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Ferring, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Why deal with it now?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Ferring at a time that suits you.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so the base is a key test point.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
TR19 inspection in Ferring: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Ferring is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 32 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Ferring, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Fire safety in Ferring falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Ferring, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Goring-By-Sea station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Ferring
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
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 roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Other services in Ferring
Do you need TR19 inspection in Ferring?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
A hospital like Zachary Merton Hospital, about 2.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
