About our TR19 inspection in Lodsworth
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. If you are dealing with insurers asking for TR19 evidence and post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean, we can help, from access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Lodsworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Lodsworth
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Measuring it is the first step to keeping it under control.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Lodsworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lodsworth
Which fire authority looks after Lodsworth?
Fire safety enforcement in Lodsworth is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Lodsworth?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lodsworth. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and pictures. It works whoever carried out the clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lodsworth
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lodsworth rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

TR19 inspection in Lodsworth: the local picture

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Lodsworth falls to 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. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lodsworth. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Cowdray House, about 2.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Lodsworth; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lodsworth before we set off.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
