How we handle TR19 inspection in Upper Beeding
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Upper Beeding and do not 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, before any cleaning is booked. The work covers wet film thickness tests, post-clean checks and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Beeding, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
FAQs for Upper Beeding
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Upper Beeding?
That is Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Upper Beeding. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can a school canteen extract in Upper Beeding be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Upper Beeding, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Expect it to take a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. We fit it around when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What TR19 inspection can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Upper Beeding
Grease builds up as cooking vapour cools inside the extract. It often collects where nobody can see it: the plenum, bends and horizontal runs.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Portslade Manor is about 4.6 miles south-east), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Upper Beeding, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

- The same access points are opened up.

Getting ready for the visit

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag oily drips near the extract
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
