TR19 inspections and grease testing in Selsey, West Sussex
TR19 inspection across Selsey and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. In a town like Selsey, we typically work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we can’t reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
How we handle TR19 inspection in Selsey
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and extracts that have never been grease tested.
Kitchens in towns like Selsey are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Selsey
At about 1 mile from the coast, Selsey is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 pubs, bars and clubs in Selsey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Selsey. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Selsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Seal Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- A faulty or failing extract fan
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Post-clean checks
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Why deal with it now?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you won’t know without measuring. With a fire risk assessment or inspection due, getting the work done first puts you on the front foot.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
