TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Pell Green
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and grease readings are taken at set points. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and checking the result of a recent clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 Pell Green
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
FAQs for Pell Green
Do you work in villages like Pell Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pell Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pell Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Pell Green are carried out by Wealden council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Pell Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What we’re called out for in Pell Green
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ticehurst House Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pell Green, about 2.8 miles south-east.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pell Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What TR19 inspection looks like in Pell Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Pell Green. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Pell Green falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Leave it or put it right?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Somewhere as small as Pell Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
