TR19 inspections and grease testing in Haslingbourne, West Sussex
TR19 inspection across Haslingbourne and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Never cook with filters missing
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
TR19 inspection in Haslingbourne
Before any clean in Haslingbourne, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a small place like Haslingbourne, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Haslingbourne
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. In a small place like Haslingbourne, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Haslingbourne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Kitchen extracts in Haslingbourne
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Haslingbourne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Haslingbourne. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Haslingbourne get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School or anywhere near Haslingbourne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Haslingbourne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for Haslingbourne
Do you work at weekends in Haslingbourne?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Haslingbourne keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Haslingbourne?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Haslingbourne. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is grease thickness testing?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.

- Missing access panels found on survey
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
