TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Hampers Green
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. Common call-outs are for surveys needed before quoting a full clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, on deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Hampers Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Hampers Green
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
What we are most often called out for:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hampers Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Grease, kitchens and Hampers Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Hampers Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hampers Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampers Green sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Petworth House is about 0.6 miles south), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hampers Green is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles west.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Design faults in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Hampers Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hampers Green?
Kitchens in Hampers Green are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in villages like Hampers Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
A survey finds out how the system is laid out, how dirty it is and what can be reached, before anyone starts cleaning. Missing access panels are noted ahead of the clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hampers Green run smoothly.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
