TR19 inspection around Rogate

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rogate. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rogate. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Historic houses near Rogate, such as Uppark about 4.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

About our TR19 inspection in Rogate

Taking on a kitchen in Rogate with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct that can’t be reached and checking the result of a recent clean.

In a village or hamlet like Rogate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. For a village or hamlet like Rogate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
  2. The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
  3. Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
  4. Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
  5. We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Keeping the system healthy

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
  • Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
  • Diary the next grease test and clean
  • Store grease readings where your insurer can see them

For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.

Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Rogate

Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.

Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Parts of the system left out of past cleans
  • Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
  • An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
  • Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits

Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Rogate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Before booking anyone

  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • What insurance they carry

Questions to ask before booking

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Rogate

Can the work in Rogate be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Rogate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rogate?

The local authority for Rogate 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.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

How much notice do you need?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

How much does TR19 inspection cost?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.

What about areas you cannot get to?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Rogate

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The number of sites or systems
  • The scale of the work
  • What state the system is in

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What we need to know

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • A few general shots of the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When it’s something else

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
  • Mechanical faults in the extract
  • The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Access surveys
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Post-clean checks
  • Pre-clean surveys
  • Insurer audits

What the work involves, part by part

Horizontal duct runs

Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.

Extract fan and discharge

We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
