TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Toddington
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Toddington and across West Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. Typical jobs include parts of the system left out of past cleans and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
For a smaller kitchen near Toddington, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s 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.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Toddington
The coast is only about 2 miles from Toddington. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 59 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 34 takeaways and sandwich shops in Toddington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these cook for very different hours, and grease testing shows which extracts need cleaning soonest. Food hygiene inspections in Toddington are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in Toddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Lyminster Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 2.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and pictures. Keep it with your fire safety and TR19 records.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
FAQs for Toddington
Does the sea air around Toddington make a difference to TR19 inspection?
It can. Salt air reaches Toddington, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Toddington out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Toddington. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. 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.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is Toddington in your area?
Yes. Toddington is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so it matters in practice.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Everything the job in Toddington needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we book a time that won’t disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, photos and a recommended next clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Mechanical faults in the extract
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
