TR19 inspection in Keynor Estate, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. Common call-outs are for kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and checking the result of a recent clean, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and pre-clean surveys.
In a small place like Keynor Estate, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

TR19 inspection in Keynor Estate: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Keynor Estate is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Keynor Estate. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Keynor Estate is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham or elsewhere in Keynor Estate, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Keynor Estate is St Richard's Hospital, about 5.2 miles north. School kitchens, at schools like Sidlesham Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Keynor Estate questions
Will you come out to Keynor Estate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does being near the coast affect TR19 inspection in Keynor Estate?
It can. Keynor Estate is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Keynor Estate.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
Why deal with it now?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. It’s simpler to plan the work at Keynor Estate now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
