TR19 inspection in Saint Hill Green, done properly
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit and sites with gaps in their extract records.
For a kitchen in or near Saint Hill Green, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
How we price TR19 inspection
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
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.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
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, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Saint Hill Green before we set off.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- 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.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

TR19 inspection around Saint Hill Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Saint Hill Green. Each kitchen extract among them can be measured for grease to set the right cleaning interval. Fire safety in Saint Hill Green falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Saint Hill Green are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Victoria Hospital (about 2.4 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like The Meads Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near St. Barnabas Church, or anywhere in Saint Hill Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Saint Hill Green
Which environmental health team covers Saint Hill Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Saint Hill Green are carried out by Mid Sussex council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Saint Hill Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Saint Hill Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
