TR19 inspection in Twineham Green, done properly
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Twineham Green and don’t know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. You get readings, photos and a clear view of what’s needed, so the next step is based on facts. Common call-outs are for parts of the system left out of past cleans and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, across deposit thickness tests, post-clean checks and insurer audits.
Work in a small place like Twineham Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Keep to the recommended interval
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
When cooking hours or the menu change, check the interval still fits. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Questions from Twineham Green
Do you work at weekends in Twineham Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Twineham Green keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Twineham Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Twineham Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, TR19® is not legislation. But the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk under the Fire Safety Order 2005, which in a kitchen includes grease in the extract. Many insurers also expect TR19 cleaning.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Twineham Green and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Twineham Green?
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Twineham CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Twineham Green can be planned properly.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Twineham Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Twineham Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Twineham Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Twineham Green get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 2.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Twineham Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
