What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. 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. Somewhere as small as Slindon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, pictures and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

TR19 inspection in Slindon
Before any clean in Slindon, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and grease readings are taken at set points. Common call-outs are for insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and missing TR19 certificates or history, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Slindon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Slindon
Sites in Slindon that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Testing gives you the evidence to set it properly. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Full insurance on every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
Common questions in Slindon
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Slindon during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Slindon, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Slindon?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you inspect our extract for our insurance company?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Slindon?
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that cannot be reached, so the gaps can be closed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Flag oily drips near the extract
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Slindon
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Slindon. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Slindon sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Slindon get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Slindon CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Slindon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
