TR19 Inspection in Rusper
Our technicians work in Rusper on TR19 inspection. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
What we are called out for in Rusper
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Sections of duct that cannot be reached
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary Magdalene church, or anywhere in Rusper, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
About our TR19 inspection in Rusper
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Grease testing shows which side of those lines you are on. Common call-outs are for checking the result of a recent clean and sites with gaps in their extract records, across wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
Work in a small place like Rusper starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. We test at points along the run through access panels.
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rusper.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

FAQs for Rusper
Which environmental health team covers Rusper?
The local authority for Rusper is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Rusper?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rusper included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We look at the system from canopy to discharge, take grease readings and check access. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
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.

What affects the quote in Rusper
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site

What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
