Signs you need TR19 inspection in Pevensey Bay
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
A hospital like Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
TR19 inspection in Pevensey Bay, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Pevensey Bay gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Pevensey Bay
The coast is only about 1 mile from Pevensey Bay. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Pevensey Bay, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Pevensey Bay get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Pevensey Bay station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Pevensey and Westham CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Pevensey Bay questions
Can you work in Pevensey Bay outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Pevensey Bay keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Pevensey Bay?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Pevensey Bay. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. We inspect the system and produce a report with grease readings, photos and any inaccessible areas. It’s set out for your insurer or broker.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pevensey Bay
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. Even a site near Pevensey Bay that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a place like Pevensey Bay, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
