West Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Halnaker TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection across Halnaker and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Book the next test on the date in the report
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
About our TR19 inspection in Halnaker
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, we can help.
Work in a small place like Halnaker starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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 own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Halnaker can be planned properly.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Why act early in Halnaker
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you will not know without measuring. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do you cover Halnaker?
Yes. Halnaker is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
