Why it’s worth doing now in Jury's Gap
If a kitchen in Jury's Gap has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a small place like Jury's Gap, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Jury's Gap
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price TR19 inspection
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. 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 Jury's Gap.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Questions from Jury's Gap
Which environmental health team covers Jury's Gap?
The local authority for Jury's Gap is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Jury's Gap after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you cover Jury's Gap?
Yes. We cover Jury's Gap and the rest of East Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
When to call us in Jury's Gap
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Lamb House, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Jury's Gap; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
