Muddles Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Muddles Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Muddles Green?
Muddles Green is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Muddles Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and photos to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Muddles Green
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can help, from post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Muddles Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Muddles Green
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church or elsewhere in Muddles Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Comparing quotes

- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so panels can be added.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Muddles Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
