When to call us in Littleworth
When a site in Littleworth changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Missing access panels found on survey
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Jolesfield CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Littleworth
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you’re on. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and missing access panels found on survey, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Littleworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t 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 get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 inspection around Littleworth
It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Littleworth. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. We cover Littleworth, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Littleworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Littleworth is about 7 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH13, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Littleworth among them. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 12 miles away.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Littleworth questions
Do you cover smaller places like Littleworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Littleworth is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Littleworth?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine 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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Littleworth
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Littleworth that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Littleworth.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
