Who inspects food businesses in Trotton?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Trotton. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
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’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Trotton
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with new readings and pictures of the cleaned areas. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and deposit thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are sites with gaps in their extract records and systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements.
In a village or hamlet like Trotton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What TR19 inspection cannot fix
TR19 inspection can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests

- Insurer audits
- Post-clean checks
- Access surveys
How we price TR19 inspection
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Grease, kitchens and Trotton
Food hygiene inspections in Trotton are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. About 46 miles out from central London, Trotton is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Trotton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Trotton, such as Cowdray House about 3.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Local landmarks in Trotton
Around Trotton, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Keeper's Arms Public House and the streets around them.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Trotton
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- An insurer’s request for a TR19 audit
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 3 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Inspections are done when the kitchen is closed or quiet so trading isn’t affected.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.

Why act early in Trotton
A check after cleaning shows whether the work reached every part it should have, while there’s still time to put anything right. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Trotton is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
