Signs you need TR19 inspection in Newtimber
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St John Evangelist, or anywhere in Newtimber, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Newtimber
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Typical jobs include pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Newtimber 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Newtimber
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses across Newtimber and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Newtimber is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Newtimber are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 4.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Portslade Manor is about 4.6 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Newtimber questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newtimber?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Newtimber?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newtimber is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The visit is timed so cooking is not disrupted.
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, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Newtimber.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in Newtimber that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Somewhere as small as Newtimber, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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.
