How we handle TR19 inspection in Goring-by-Sea
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Goring-by-Sea and the rest of West Sussex. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Around a smaller place like Goring-by-Sea, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Goring-by-Sea
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Goring-by-Sea?
Food hygiene inspections in Goring-by-Sea are carried out by Worthing council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can a school canteen extract in Goring-by-Sea be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Goring-by-Sea. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Goring-by-Sea
Sea air reaches Goring-by-Sea, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 25 takeaways and sandwich shops in Goring-by-Sea and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Goring-by-Sea is covered by 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.
For schools such as Goring-By-Sea CofE (Aided) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Acre about 1.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Goring-By-Sea station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
