TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Selsfield Common
A fixed schedule doesn’t 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. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. Typical jobs include checking the result of a recent clean and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements, on pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys.
In a village or hamlet like Selsfield Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Advice
Kitchen extracts in Selsfield Common
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Selsfield Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Selsfield Common. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Selsfield Common 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School or anywhere near Selsfield Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Selsfield Common, such as Gravetye Manor about 0.8 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Selsfield Common, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Selsfield Common: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Selsfield Common?
Yes. Selsfield Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Selsfield Common?
Kitchens in Selsfield Common are inspected by Mid Sussex council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much time does an inspection need?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
