About our TR19 inspection in Udimore
A pre-clean survey is the diagnosis, and the clean is the treatment. Readings, pictures and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. If you’re dealing with missing access panels found on survey and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help, from access surveys, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits onwards.
Work in a small place like Udimore 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Udimore?
As hot, greasy air travels up the duct, it cools and leaves a film behind. The thickest layers can sit out of sight in the plenum, at bends and along flat runs.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Conquest Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Udimore.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen is not busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. The inspection shows whether it needs cleaning now.

Udimore: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Udimore?
Udimore is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Udimore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Udimore can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and pictures after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Udimore

TR19 inspection around Udimore
Food hygiene inspections in Udimore are the job of Rother 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. At about 50 miles from central London, Udimore sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Historic houses near Udimore, such as Lamb House about 3.4 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Udimore, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
