TR19 inspection in Midhurst
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are missing TR19 certificates or history and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
For a smaller kitchen near Midhurst, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you are 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 the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
Common problems we fix in Midhurst
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
Historic houses near Midhurst, such as Cowdray House about 0.6 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Kitchen extracts in Midhurst
The FSA’s data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Midhurst. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Midhurst. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Midhurst. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Midhurst is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Midhurst CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: 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 pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Midhurst when you book.
- 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.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

More services for Midhurst
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- File every inspection report with your certificates
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Common questions in Midhurst
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Midhurst in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Midhurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Midhurst?
Kitchens in Midhurst are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Is Midhurst in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Midhurst, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
