TR19 inspections in Walberton
We cover Walberton for TR19 inspections, grease thickness testing, pre-clean surveys and post-clean verification. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere like Walberton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
TR19 inspection in Walberton, done properly
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We’re often asked to deal with extracts that have never been grease tested and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, across insurer audits, deposit thickness tests and wet film thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Walberton, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
If your staff spot something 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.

There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in Walberton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Walberton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 2.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why deal with it now?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, which you won’t know without measuring. In a place like Walberton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. They’re included in the readings and pictures.
How we price TR19 inspection
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Walberton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
