How we handle TR19 inspection in Kingsfold
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you have parts of the system left out of past cleans and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. A planned visit to Kingsfold is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What affects the quote in Kingsfold
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Kingsfold
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Kingsfold, up to about a mile and a half out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Kingsfold is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Kingsfold are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Horsham Hospital, about 3.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Kingsfold is about 3 miles north of Horsham, in West Sussex. Kingsfold gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Kingsfold is one of them. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 14 miles from Kingsfold.
Work in RH12 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else.

- Uncertainty over how often to clean

A TR19® clean in Kingsfold doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Kingsfold: your questions answered
Can you work in Kingsfold outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Kingsfold?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kingsfold is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
An inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to book it in.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. That’s why we test behind them.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Kingsfold before we set off.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingsfold
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
