West Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Partridge Green TR19 inspection
TR19 inspection across Partridge Green and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
How we handle TR19 inspection in Partridge Green
BESA’s minimum cleaning frequencies depend on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings help set the real interval. The work covers wet film thickness tests, deposit thickness tests and insurer audits, and the jobs we see most are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
For a kitchen in or near Partridge Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Partridge Green
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Partridge Green
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Partridge Green shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Partridge Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. In a small place like Partridge Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
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 work begins.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and Partridge Green
Partridge Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. We cover Partridge Green, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens, at schools like Jolesfield CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
How we price TR19 inspection
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Questions from Partridge Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Partridge Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Partridge Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Partridge Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Partridge Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results are given in microns.
When should we have our next grease test?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
