Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Tillington
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
TR19 inspection in Tillington
Taking on a kitchen in Tillington with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and pre-clean surveys, and people most often call us about kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
In a small place like Tillington, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
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.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. 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 Tillington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- 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.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload

TR19 inspection in Tillington: the local picture
Look up Tillington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Tillington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Tillington are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Tillington 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Petworth House is about 0.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

When to call us in Tillington
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Petworth Cof E Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Tillington: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tillington?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tillington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tillington?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tillington. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
