Your questions about TR19 inspection in Street End
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Street End out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Street End. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Street End?
Kitchens in Street End are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Street End in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Street End.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Large or multiple systems take longer, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will plan it.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
About our TR19 inspection in Street End
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It shows whether the system was left in the condition the paperwork describes. If you’re dealing with surveys needed before quoting a full clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Street End, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Street End can be planned properly.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- 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, photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice

Other services in Street End
Do you need TR19 inspection in Street End?
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It is not legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping grease under control.
What we are most often called out for:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sidlesham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Street End
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
Street End kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Street End. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Street End. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Street End. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Street End is St Richard's Hospital, about 4 miles north. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham or elsewhere in Street End, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Filters can look fine while the plenum behind them is heavily coated. That is why we test behind them.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.
