How we handle TR19 inspection in Swaile's Green
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Swaile's Green and across East Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers pre-clean surveys, access surveys and wet film thickness tests, and people most often call us about sections of duct that can’t be reached and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed.
Work in a small place like Swaile's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

TR19 inspection in Swaile's Green: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Swaile's Green are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Swaile's Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Durhamford Manor, about 1.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Swaile's Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Landmarks near Swaile's Green
Around Swaile's Green, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The White Hart pub and Vinehall School. The nearest railway station is Robertsbridge station, about 3.1 miles north-west. A little further out are Conquest Hospital (5.4 miles south) and Nortons Farm Museum (3 miles south). For a walk, there’s Senlac Hill.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Swaile's Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What else we do in Swaile's Green
Why act early in Swaile's Green
Sites in Swaile's Green that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Swaile's Green is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Swaile's Green
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, and grease can be missed there clean after clean. An inspection of a system in Swaile's Green shows where access panels are missing, so the gaps can be closed.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing access panels found on survey
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Conquest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Swaile's Green, about 5.4 miles south.

What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No, TR19® is not legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurance policies also require TR19 adherence.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Tell us what your insurer has asked for and we’ll set the report out to match.

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Swaile's Green included.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, as grease can build up there too.
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and cannot be reached.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep the route to access panels clear
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.
