About our TR19 inspection in Hooe Common
Taking on a kitchen in Hooe Common with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. If you are dealing with parts of the system left out of past cleans and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Hooe Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need TR19 inspection in Hooe Common?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. A flare-up on the range can be drawn into the canopy and duct, and from there a fire can spread through the ductwork. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hooe Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Other services in Hooe Common
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
What staff can safely do
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Hooe Common
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hooe Common?
That’s East 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hooe Common?
The local authority for Hooe Common is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Hooe Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
