About our TR19 inspection in Pett
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers deposit thickness tests, access surveys and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
In a village or hamlet like Pett, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Pett, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Managing agents and facilities teams in Pett
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Leave it or put it right?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pett now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Grease, kitchens and Pett
Sea air reaches Pett, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pett. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. In Pett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Pett, such as Lamb House about 4.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Conquest Hospital about 4.5 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary & St Peter or elsewhere in Pett, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Design faults in the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Pett
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pett?
Fire safety enforcement in Pett is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Pett?
Yes, Pett is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification and the industry benchmark, not legislation. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The visit is timed so cooking is not disrupted.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
