East Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Netherfield TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection across Netherfield and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
About our TR19 inspection in Netherfield
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 access surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and parts of the system left out of past cleans.
In a village or hamlet like Netherfield, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Netherfield
At about 45 miles from central London, Netherfield sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Netherfield is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Netherfield CofE Primary School or anywhere near Netherfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Netherfield (Durhamford Manor is about 3.3 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Netherfield is about 7 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Netherfield, we can take on TR19 inspection. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Netherfield is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we work for TR19 inspection. Maidstone is in our area too, about 23 miles from Netherfield.
TR19 inspection in TN33 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Netherfield Way, Netherfield Road and Eatenden Lane, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection. Nearby, we also carry out TR19 inspection in Mountfield (2 miles north-east), Penhurst (2 miles south-west), Twelve Oaks (2 miles north-west), Steven's Crouch (2 miles south) and Hollingrove (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Hastings (7 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (7 miles south), Hailsham (10 miles south-west), Crowborough (14 miles north-west) and St Leonards (8 miles south-east).
Around Netherfield
Typical jobs here are in premises near Claverham Community College, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Battle station, roughly 2.9 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Battle Museum of Local History (2.3 miles south-east) and Old Castle (4.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Senlac Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s simpler to plan the work at Netherfield now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Diary the next grease test and clean
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Common problems we fix in Netherfield
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John or elsewhere in Netherfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Visits to a village like Netherfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
Common questions in Netherfield
Will you come out to Netherfield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Netherfield included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Netherfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Netherfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
How long does grease testing take?
An inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Sites with several canopies take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will plan it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
