TR19 Inspection in Old Shoreham
Our technicians work in Old Shoreham on TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
The process
We turn up 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. On site, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere like Old Shoreham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Old Shoreham
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. If you have missing access panels found on survey and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Old Shoreham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Old Shoreham questions
Does the sea air around Old Shoreham make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Old Shoreham than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Will you come out to Old Shoreham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Old Shoreham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires the responsible person to reduce fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172

Parts of the system we cover
- Pre-clean surveys
- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Access surveys
What we’re called out for in Old Shoreham
You cannot judge grease thickness by eye. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, so readings are the reliable guide.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southlands Hospital (about 1.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Kitchen extracts in Old Shoreham
Old Shoreham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 45 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 takeaways and sandwich shops across Old Shoreham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Kitchens in Old Shoreham get their food hygiene inspections from Adur council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Swiss Gardens Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicolas' Church, or anywhere in Old Shoreham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
