TR19 inspections and grease testing in Pevensey, East Sussex
TR19 inspections and grease testing for commercial sites in Pevensey and across East Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Post-clean checks
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
TR19 inspection in Pevensey, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and missing access panels found on survey.
For a kitchen in or near Pevensey, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Pevensey kitchens: local notes
Pevensey is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Pevensey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Pevensey. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A kitchen near Pevensey Bay station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Nicolas Church or elsewhere in Pevensey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eastbourne District General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pevensey, about 3.8 miles south-west.
Pevensey is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Pevensey gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, and Pevensey is one of them. Brighton is in our area too, about 20 miles from Pevensey.
Our technicians cover all of BN24 for TR19 inspection and the roads nearby. You’ll find streets such as High Street, Church Lane and Bridge End, all of which we cover for TR19 inspection. If your site is just outside Pevensey, we cover Pevensey Bay (1 mile south-east), Westham (1 mile west), Jenkins' Green (1 mile west), Langney (2 miles south-west) and Normans' Bay (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (3 miles south-west), Hastings (10 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (6 miles east), Seaford (10 miles west), Lewes (15 miles west) and Hailsham (5 miles north-west).
What’s near Pevensey
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Bishop Bell School and The Smugglers' Inn, among other places. There’s a railway station in Pevensey itself: Pevensey Bay station. A little further out are Pevensey Court House Museum And Gaol (less than half a mile west) and Pevensey Castle (less than half a mile west). Green spaces nearby include Gillham Wood and Combe Hill.
Questions from Pevensey
Can you get to a site in Pevensey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Pevensey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Pevensey keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Pevensey?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so the base is a key test point.
What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pevensey now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a village or hamlet like Pevensey, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

What else we do in Pevensey
How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
