How we handle TR19 inspection in Jenkins' Green
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 Jenkins' Green and across East Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. We’re often asked to deal with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, on deposit thickness tests, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
In a village or hamlet like Jenkins' Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Jenkins' Green
Can you get to a site in Jenkins' Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Jenkins' Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Jenkins' Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Jenkins' Green is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Jenkins' Green
Jenkins' Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Jenkins' Green. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Kitchens in Jenkins' Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Luke's Church, or anywhere in Jenkins' Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hankham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Jenkins' Green.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Jenkins' Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
When to call us in Jenkins' Green
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Historic houses near Jenkins' Green, such as Michelham Priory about 4.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
