What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
TR19 inspection in Hollingrove, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Hollingrove and across East Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have uncertainty over how often to clean and sections of duct that can’t be reached, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Hollingrove starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Hollingrove kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Hollingrove are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Hollingrove falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket or anywhere around Hollingrove, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Hollingrove is about 8 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. We provide TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Hollingrove and the rest of East Sussex. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, and Hollingrove is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 22 miles away.

When something else is needed
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Hollingrove

Common problems we fix in Hollingrove
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Hollingrove shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
What we are most often called out for:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hollingrove (Bateman's is about 2.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and photos are included
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Somewhere as small as Hollingrove, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Hollingrove
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hollingrove?
Hollingrove is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hollingrove?
The local authority for Hollingrove is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Hollingrove?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will plan it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why act early in Hollingrove
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hollingrove is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
