What we’re called out for in Pulborough
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
For kitchens close to Pulborough station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of insurance
How we handle TR19 inspection in Pulborough
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with new readings and photos of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and parts of the system left out of past cleans, across insurer audits, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Kitchens around a place like Pulborough are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Pulborough
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need TR19 inspection in Pulborough, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a place like Pulborough, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels, hidden duct runs and awkward fans are found before the cleaners arrive, and the quote reflects the real job. A quieter site near Pulborough still needs its system looked after.
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.

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Pulborough is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Pulborough
Do you work at weekends in Pulborough?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Pulborough keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Pulborough?
Fire safety enforcement in Pulborough is handled by West 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.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
