Signs you need TR19 inspection in Gay Street
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A TR19® clean in Gay Street does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
About our TR19 inspection in Gay Street
Before any clean in Gay Street, 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 insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
Somewhere as small as Gay Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Gay Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why act early in Gay Street
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Planning a trip to Gay Street ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Gay Street kitchens: local notes
The fire and rescue service for Gay Street is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Gay Street is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Gay Street (Old Place Manor is about 2.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

FAQs for Gay Street
Can the work in Gay Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Gay Street?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
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 straight away.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
