TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hampden Park
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. We are often asked to deal with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Around a smaller place like Hampden Park, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. A quieter site near Hampden Park still needs its system looked after.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection won’t do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Hampden Park
Sea air reaches Hampden Park, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 37 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hampden Park. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Hampden Park sits within the area of East 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Heron Park Primary Academy or anywhere near Hampden Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Hampden Park station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Hampden Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Hampden Park is about 1 mile north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex.

Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
FAQs for Hampden Park
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Hampden Park?
It can. Salt air reaches Hampden Park, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Is Hampden Park within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, with recommendations where something needs doing.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. The report flags anything missed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often should grease be tested?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. In a place like Hampden Park, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
