How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself 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 small place like Newpound Common, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
About our TR19 inspection in Newpound Common
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Newpound Common and the rest of West Sussex. Common call-outs are for extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and missing TR19 certificates or history, across access surveys, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys.
Work in a small place like Newpound Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Newpound Common. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Newpound Common. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newpound Common. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Newpound Common questions
Will you come out to Newpound Common?
Yes. Newpound Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Newpound Common out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Newpound Common, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is post-clean verification?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Newpound Common?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.

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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
When to call us in Newpound Common
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
School kitchens, at schools like Wisborough Green Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Design faults in the extract system
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
