TR19 inspection in Rodmell, 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 shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you have extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean and parts of the system left out of past cleans, we can put it right, from pre-clean surveys, deposit thickness tests and access surveys onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Rodmell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
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, trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Rodmell
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

FAQs for Rodmell
Which environmental health team covers Rodmell?
Food hygiene inspections in Rodmell are carried out by Lewes council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers Rodmell?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Rodmell. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Why deal with it now?
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. In a place like Rodmell, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 play a part.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
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.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
Grease, kitchens and Rodmell
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Rodmell. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rodmell. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lewes Victoria Hospital (about 2.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Rodmell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Southease station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
