TR19 inspection in Plummers Plain, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the clean can be planned properly. Typical jobs include an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and uncertainty over how often to clean, across post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Plummers Plain starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Plummers Plain
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. The timing of a visit to Plummers Plain is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Why deal with it now?
A pre-clean survey avoids surprises on the night. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Plummers Plain affects everyone who depends on it.
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.

Common questions in Plummers Plain
Which council inspects kitchens in Plummers Plain?
Kitchens in Plummers Plain are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Plummers Plain?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What happens to the waste?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What is grease thickness testing?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
