TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Strettington
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Strettington and the rest of West Sussex. If you are dealing with uncertainty over how often to clean and checking the result of a recent clean, we can help.
In a small place like Strettington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

TR19 inspection in Strettington: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Strettington. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Strettington falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Strettington are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chichester Centre (about 1.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church or anywhere around Strettington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere as small as Strettington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
