TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Goddards Green
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. We are often asked to deal with sections of duct that can’t be reached and missing TR19 certificates or history, across post-clean checks, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
Somewhere as small as Goddards Green, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Goddards Green kitchens: local notes
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Goddards Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Goddards Green falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Goddards Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Dene Hospital about under half a mile east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Paul's Catholic College or anywhere near Goddards Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What we are called out for in Goddards Green
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Edward the Confessor or anywhere around Goddards Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

Why act early in Goddards Green
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. In a small place like Goddards Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

FAQs for Goddards Green
Which fire authority looks after Goddards Green?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Goddards Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can school kitchens in Goddards Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Goddards Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
