TR19 inspection in Peacehaven
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers insurer audits, pre-clean surveys and access surveys, and people most often call us about missing TR19 certificates or history and sections of duct that can’t be reached.
In a smaller place like Peacehaven, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Peacehaven
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Peacehaven
Grease is fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Monk's House is about 2.9 miles north), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Questions from Peacehaven
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Peacehaven?
In Peacehaven, it’s Lewes council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can a school canteen extract in Peacehaven be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Peacehaven. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
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 the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and grease readings help set the real interval.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

TR19 inspection in Peacehaven: the local picture
Peacehaven 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. The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Peacehaven. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Peacehaven, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewes council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Ascension Church or elsewhere in Peacehaven, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Peacehaven Community School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Peacehaven needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
