How we handle TR19 inspection in Lower Beeding
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Lower Beeding and the rest of West Sussex. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about sites with gaps in their extract records and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lower Beeding.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lower Beeding
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lower Beeding?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lower Beeding. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Lower Beeding after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Lower Beeding keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Are you accredited?

What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Why act early in Lower Beeding
If a kitchen in Lower Beeding has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Somewhere as small as Lower Beeding, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What we are called out for in Lower Beeding
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Lower Beeding, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Lower Beeding
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
TR19 inspection around Lower Beeding
Lower Beeding is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Lower Beeding is about 33 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 3.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School or anywhere near Lower Beeding, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
