TR19 inspection in Kingston Gorse
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean.
Work in a small place like Kingston Gorse starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Kingston Gorse.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we are called out for in Kingston Gorse
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
For schools such as Ferring CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
FAQs for Kingston Gorse
Do you cover smaller places like Kingston Gorse?
Yes. Kingston Gorse is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Kingston Gorse?
The local authority for Kingston Gorse is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What 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.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, before anyone starts cleaning. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, pictures and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
Kingston Gorse kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Kingston Gorse 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. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 23 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways in Kingston Gorse and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Kingston Gorse are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Kingston Gorse, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Zachary Merton Hospital, about 1.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
