TR19 inspection in Heyshott, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and people most often call us about heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean.
Work in a small place like Heyshott starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

TR19 inspection in Heyshott: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Heyshott and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Heyshott is West 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. Food hygiene inspections in Heyshott are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Heyshott (Cowdray House is about 2.5 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Midhurst Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Heyshott, about 2.9 miles north.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
What affects the quote in Heyshott
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Questions from Heyshott
Will you come out to Heyshott?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Heyshott included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Heyshott?
Heyshott is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
How long does grease testing take?
It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Heyshott run smoothly.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Heyshott?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St James, or anywhere in Heyshott, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix

- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
