About our TR19 inspection in Sayers Common
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Sayers Common and across West Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. Common call-outs are for cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on insurer audits, access surveys and pre-clean surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Sayers Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the 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.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, out of sight of the kitchen.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
Sayers Common questions
Do you work in villages like Sayers Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Sayers Common after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Sayers Common needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often should grease be tested?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Sayers Common?
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Sayers Common, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Kitchen extracts in Sayers Common
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sayers Common. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Sayers Common are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Sayers Common. 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 look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Albourne CofE Primary School or anywhere near Sayers Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; The Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sayers Common, about 1.8 miles north-east.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, photos and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
What affects the quote in Sayers Common
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Finding a hotspot early means a targeted spot clean rather than a bigger problem later. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. In a place like Sayers Common, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
