FAQs for High Salvington
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in High Salvington in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of High Salvington. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in High Salvington?
Yes, High Salvington is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in High Salvington?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in High Salvington
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like High Salvington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, with testing showing whether more is needed.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
When to call us in High Salvington
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Ecclesden Manor, about 3.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near High Salvington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Grease, kitchens and High Salvington
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways across High Salvington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Kitchens in High Salvington get their food hygiene inspections from Worthing council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for High Salvington is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter or elsewhere in High Salvington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Worthing Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Everything the job in High Salvington needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
