TR19 inspection in Plumpton Green, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you’re dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, we can help, from pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests onwards.
Work in a small place like Plumpton Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Plumpton Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When to call us in Plumpton Green
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
A kitchen near Plumpton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Deposit thickness tests
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
If a run has no access panel, we note it so it can be fixed before the clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Why deal with it now?
If a kitchen in Plumpton Green has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Planning a trip to Plumpton Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Grease, kitchens and Plumpton Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars across Plumpton Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Plumpton Green is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Plumpton Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints or elsewhere in Plumpton Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like St Francis Hospital, about 4.2 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Plumpton Green is about 3 miles south-east of Burgess Hill, in East Sussex.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Plumpton Green knowing what to expect.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
