TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Rusher's Cross
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers deposit thickness tests, wet film thickness tests and access surveys, and people most often call us about kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
In a village or hamlet like Rusher's Cross, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Rusher's Cross
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the visit 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. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Rusher's Cross, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Leave it or put it right?
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rusher's Cross affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why Rusher's Cross businesses choose us

Rusher's Cross questions
Which fire service covers Rusher's Cross?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Rusher's Cross. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Rusher's Cross after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Rusher's Cross can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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 do the grease readings need to be?
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. Our report sets your readings against both.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep the route to access panels clear
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
