Kitchen extracts in Hoyle
In Hoyle, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. At about 46 miles from central London, Hoyle sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hoyle (Cowdray House is about 2.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St James, or anywhere in Hoyle, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Midhurst Rother College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Hoyle is about 9 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. If you need TR19 inspection in Hoyle, please call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Hoyle
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. Common call-outs are for extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hoyle
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hoyle affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Questions from Hoyle
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hoyle?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hoyle. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Hoyle be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Hoyle needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. It lets us plan the clean and give you a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Book the next test on the date in the report
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hoyle knowing what to expect.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
