How we handle TR19 inspection in Newick
Under TR19® Grease, the mean grease thickness should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. The work covers deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are extracts that have never been grease tested and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In a place like Newick, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

FAQs for Newick
Can you work in Newick outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Newick keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newick?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we will set the report out to match.
Kitchen extracts in Newick
Look up Newick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Newick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Food hygiene inspections in Newick are the job of Lewes council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Newick is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Zion Chapel or elsewhere in Newick, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Uckfield Community Hospital (about 4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Newick Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Newick is about 4 miles west of Uckfield, in East Sussex. If you need TR19 inspection in Newick, please ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- File every inspection report with your certificates
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Newick knowing what to expect.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
