TR19 inspection in Turners Hill
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. Common call-outs are for parts of the system left out of past cleans and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, across pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Turners Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The timing of a visit to Turners Hill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

Related advice
When to call us in Turners Hill
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Gravetye Manor is about 1.6 miles south-east), access may need planning.

FAQs for Turners Hill
Is Turners Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Turners Hill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Turners Hill can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Why survey before a clean?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from pictures and details, or visit, whichever suits the system.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires the responsible person to manage fire risk, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so trading is not affected.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
Leave it or put it right?
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Turners Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and Turners Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Turners Hill. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. In Turners Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Turners Hill is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Turners Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Victoria Hospital is the nearest hospital to Turners Hill, about 4.3 miles north-east.
