TR19 inspection in Stunts Green
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and photos, for sites in Stunts Green and the rest of East Sussex. If you’re dealing with pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean and uncertainty over how often to clean, we can help, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests onwards.
In a small place like Stunts Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Grease, kitchens and Stunts Green
Fire safety in Stunts Green falls to East 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. Stunts Green, about 45 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 2.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Stunts Green is about 3 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Across the BN27 area, we cover TR19 inspection for commercial sites. 289 places in East Sussex are on our list, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page (20 miles or so).

FAQs for Stunts Green
Can you get to a site in Stunts Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stunts Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Stunts Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Stunts Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Often enough to know the mean stays under 200 microns between cleans. The readings themselves tell you if the interval needs to change.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long does grease testing take?
As a guide, it takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. System size and access decide the rest.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Design faults in the extract system
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Stunts Green
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Never cook with filters missing
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so the history is easy to show.
When to call us in Stunts Green
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amberstone Hospital about 1.8 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stunts Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
How we price TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
