How we handle TR19 inspection in Furner's Green
Before any clean in Furner's Green, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
In a village or hamlet like Furner's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Furner's Green
When a site in Furner's Green changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Priest House is about 5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Furner's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchen extracts in Furner's Green
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Furner's Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. The fire and rescue service for Furner's Green is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Furner's Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Danehill Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Princess Royal Hospital, about 4.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Furner's Green is about 5 miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Furner's Green, TR19 inspection is something we can help with.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Photo reports with every job

Common questions in Furner's Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Furner's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Furner's Green are carried out by Wealden council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Furner's Green?
Yes, Furner's Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. Our report sets your readings against both.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
