TR19 inspection in Mannings Heath, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Mannings Heath and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. Typical jobs include systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and access surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Mannings Heath, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Mannings Heath: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Mannings Heath?
That’s Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mannings Heath. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Mannings Heath?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Mannings Heath needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How often should grease be tested?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. A risk assessment based on measured grease should set the interval.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mannings Heath
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Mannings Heath
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Visits to a village like Mannings Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Common problems we fix in Mannings Heath
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Forest School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
