Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. So we measure behind the filters, not just in front.
TR19 inspection in Shripney
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you’re dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen, we can put it right, from wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and pre-clean surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Shripney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. The timing of a visit to Shripney is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Shripney
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Questions from Shripney
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shripney?
The local authority for Shripney is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can sea air affect TR19 inspection in Shripney?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Shripney gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
How much time does an inspection need?
Testing takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

What else we do in Shripney
Kitchen extracts in Shripney
At about 3 miles from the coast, Shripney 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 shows about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shripney. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Shripney. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Cross Church or elsewhere in Shripney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Bersted Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Whether your site is in the middle of Shripney or further out, TR19 inspection is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Shripney among them. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, roughly 18 miles from Shripney.
Our technicians cover all of PO22 for TR19 inspection and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Shripney Lane, Shripney Road and The Marigolds, and we cover them all for TR19 inspection. If your site is just outside Shripney, we cover Lidsey (1 mile north-east), Flansham (2 miles east), Westergate (2 miles north), Aldingbourne (2 miles north) and Eastergate (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).
Landmarks near Shripney
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Brooks Local Nature Reserve, The Regis School and Felpham Community College. Shripney’s nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Tote Copse Castle (1.8 miles north-west) and Bognor Regis Museum (2.1 miles south).
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits

- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Book the next test on the date in the report
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
