About our TR19 inspection in Rustington
Taking on a kitchen in Rustington with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers pre-clean surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Rustington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Rustington?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
What we are most often called out for:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Rustington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Rustington questions
Can a school canteen extract in Rustington be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 26 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Rustington. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does coastal air change anything about TR19 inspection in Rustington?
It can. Rustington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
Are you accredited?
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 if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is grease thickness testing?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
Kitchen extracts in Rustington
Rustington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 75 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 42 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rustington. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Rustington sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rustington Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Commuter trade near Angmering station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

How we price TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For TR19 inspection in Rustington, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rustington
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. In a smaller place like Rustington, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
