TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Shillinglee
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is 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. We are often asked to deal with uncertainty over how often to clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Shillinglee
Who is the fire and rescue service for Shillinglee?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Shillinglee. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shillinglee?
The local authority for Shillinglee is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos to book it in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, with recommendations where something needs doing.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
For kitchens in and around Shillinglee, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

How we price TR19 inspection
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Testing shows whether the interval suits.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shillinglee

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
