Signs you need TR19 inspection in Green Street
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere in Green Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

TR19 inspection in Green Street
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. We are often asked to deal with parts of the system left out of past cleans and systems that need surveying before cleaning, across pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Green Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Street
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
TR19 inspection around Green Street
Green Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars in and around Green Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Green Street get their food hygiene inspections from Hastings council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Green Street has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. A fault that closes a site in a village like Green Street affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost 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 work begins, so there are no surprises.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Green Street
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Green Street, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Green Street?
It can, as Green Street is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
