TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Newhaven
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Newhaven and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, pictures and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. If you’re dealing with systems that need surveying before cleaning and checking the result of a recent clean, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and pre-clean surveys onwards.
Most kitchens in a town like Newhaven cannot close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newhaven
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, so the clean covers the whole system. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What affects the quote in Newhaven
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Newhaven
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newhaven?
That’s Lewes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newhaven. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newhaven?
Fire safety enforcement in Newhaven is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Newhaven in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Newhaven.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so it can be fixed before the clean.
Canopy and plenum
Clean-looking filters don’t mean a clean plenum. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Design faults in the extract system
- Mechanical faults in the extract
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
TR19 inspection around Newhaven
Sea air reaches Newhaven, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Newhaven and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newhaven. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A kitchen near Newhaven Town station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Newhaven, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Advice
Nearby places to Newhaven
Also in Newhaven
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Never cook with filters missing
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
