TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Town Row
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 Town Row and across East Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. If you have systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help.
In a small place like Town Row, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Town Row
Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Town Row. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Town Row. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Denys or elsewhere in Town Row, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rotherfield Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Wadhurst Castle is about 4.4 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Town Row
Which environmental health team covers Town Row?
In Town Row, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Town Row be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Town Row does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How long does grease testing take?
Testing takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to book it in.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Town Row
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Pre-clean surveys
- Access surveys
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Town Row before we set off.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Leave it or put it right?
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- Full insurance on every job

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.
