TR19 inspection in Jevington, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. Typical jobs include surveys needed before quoting a full clean and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
For a kitchen in or near Jevington, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. A quick grease test answers the question.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.

Advice
What affects the quote in Jevington
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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.
Kitchen extracts in Jevington
Sea air reaches Jevington, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Jevington. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Jevington sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Jevington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Alfriston Clergy House, about 2.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Jevington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Common questions in Jevington
Do you work at weekends in Jevington?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Jevington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Jevington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Jevington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. It lets us plan the clean and send you a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Jevington
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Jevington?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so panels can be fitted.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eastbourne District General Hospital (about 2.3 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
