TR19 inspection in Lurgashall, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Lurgashall 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, before any cleaning is booked. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, across wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, next to our reports.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Lurgashall
Can you come to Lurgashall after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lurgashall?
In Lurgashall, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is Lurgashall in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Lurgashall, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Lurgashall, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep to the recommended interval
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Kitchen extracts in Lurgashall
Fire safety in Lurgashall falls to 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. About 41 miles out from central London, Lurgashall is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Petworth House, about 3.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Lurgashall; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 4.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Lurgashall, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What happens if it’s left?
Post-clean verification shows whether the system was left the way the certificate says, before the next clean is due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lurgashall rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
