How we handle TR19 inspection in Offington
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 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. We’re often asked to deal with confirming a clean reached the whole system and parts of the system left out of past cleans, across pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks.
Work in a small place like Offington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Offington
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Offington?
Food hygiene inspections in Offington are carried out by Worthing council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does the sea air around Offington make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can. Salt air reaches Offington, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Offington?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What else we do in Offington
Why it’s worth doing now in Offington
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. Somewhere as small as Offington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease builds up on the fan blades and inside the housing. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Offington, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Offington
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church or anywhere around Offington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
TR19 inspection around Offington
At about 2 miles from the coast, Offington is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Offington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Offington is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Thomas A Becket Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Worthing Hospital about 1.6 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
