TR19 Inspection in Racton
TR19 inspection for Racton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

About our TR19 inspection in Racton
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Racton, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Racton
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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 on a regular cycle.

TR19 inspection in Racton: the local picture
Racton is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Racton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Racton is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Warblington Castle, about 3.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Racton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bourne Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When to call us in Racton
Kitchens change: a new menu, longer hours or more frying can all add grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 4.4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

FAQs for Racton
Which environmental health team covers Racton?
The local authority for Racton is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Racton after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How long does grease testing take?
Typically, the inspection takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
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.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. We can work from photos and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Racton
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers in multi-storey buildings can pass through other areas, so access is planned in advance.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading isn’t affected.
Why it’s worth doing now in Racton
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, before the next clean is due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Racton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Racton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
