TR19 inspection in Middleton-on-Sea
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you’re dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Middleton-on-Sea, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, 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.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. A site near Middleton-on-Sea typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What TR19 inspection looks like in Middleton-on-Sea
At about 1 mile from the coast, Middleton-on-Sea is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in Middleton-on-Sea and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Kitchens in Middleton-on-Sea get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School or anywhere near Middleton-on-Sea, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Middleton-on-Sea, about 2.4 miles west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Nicholas Church or elsewhere in Middleton-on-Sea, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Middleton-on-Sea questions
Does the sea air around Middleton-on-Sea make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can. Salt air reaches Middleton-on-Sea, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Middleton-on-Sea out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Middleton-on-Sea. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, photos, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
Why it’s worth doing now in Middleton-on-Sea
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Readings of 500 microns or more are highlighted as needing immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy itself is checked inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
