TR19 inspection in Moulsecoomb, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. If you have pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can put it right, from deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and access surveys onwards.
Around a smaller place like Moulsecoomb, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

When to call us in Moulsecoomb
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
School kitchens, at schools like Moulsecoomb Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
TR19 inspection around Moulsecoomb
The coast is only about 3 miles from Moulsecoomb. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 33 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moulsecoomb. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Moulsecoomb, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brighton and Hove council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Commuter trade near Moulsecoomb station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Brighton General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Moulsecoomb, about 1.1 miles south.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. The survey shows exactly what access there is.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a place like Moulsecoomb, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
