TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Rowhook
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: every 3 months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every 6 months for moderate use of 6 to 12 hours, and every 12 months for light use of 2 to 6 hours. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. Common call-outs are for missing access panels found on survey and sites with gaps in their extract records, on access surveys, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Rowhook, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Rowhook, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Questions from Rowhook
Can you get to a site in Rowhook?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rowhook is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Rowhook?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Rowhook. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Post-clean verification is a check after a clean, with fresh grease readings and photos. It works whoever carried out the clean.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Our TR19 audits cover readings, pictures, access and a recommended cleaning interval. You can pass it straight to your insurer or broker.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Rowhook kitchens: local notes
Rowhook is about 31 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Rowhook sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 3.7 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Farlington School or anywhere near Rowhook, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How we price TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
