TR19 inspections in Lullington
One call covers TR19 inspection in Lullington: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

Common problems we fix in Lullington
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lullington, about 4.3 miles west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Lullington
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have missing access panels found on survey and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can help, from insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Lullington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Lullington

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lullington
Which fire service covers Lullington?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lullington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Lullington outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Lullington can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. We show your readings against those figures.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Lullington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Typically, the inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. System size and access decide the rest.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Lullington
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
What happens if it’s left?
If a kitchen in Lullington 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays to avoid disruption.
Grease, kitchens and Lullington
At about 3 miles from the coast, Lullington is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Lullington 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. Lullington is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Alfriston School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Andrew or elsewhere in Lullington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Lullington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. Whether your site is in the middle of Lullington or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. We cover 289 places across East Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Brighton, around 13 miles away.

We also cover Dukes Green (1 mile south-west), Alfriston (1 mile north-west), Winton (1 mile north), Milton Street (1 mile north-east) and Wilmington (2 miles north-east).

Local landmarks in Lullington

A little further out are Old Forge Museum (Alfriston) (0.5 miles north-west) and Arlington Castle (0.9 miles north). Not far away are Combe Hill.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Lullington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
