About our TR19 inspection in Kirdford
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Kirdford and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. If you’re dealing with extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Kirdford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.

Kirdford questions
Will you come out to Kirdford?
Yes, Kirdford is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Kirdford?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kirdford. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The visit is timed so cooking isn’t disrupted.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Kirdford kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Kirdford get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kirdford is about 38 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Kirdford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Kirdford
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Kirdford
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Kirdford shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Petworth House is about 4.1 miles south-west), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Kirdford, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- 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, pictures and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
