TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Warbleton
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Warbleton 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, before any cleaning is booked. If you are dealing with extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens taken over with no cleaning records, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Warbleton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Mechanical faults in the extract
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The extract fan and its housing collect grease too. We check and test them as part of the inspection.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Warbleton kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Warbleton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Warbleton is East 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hellingly Hospital about 3.6 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Horselunges Manor, about 4 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Warbleton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Heathfield Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Warbleton knowing what to expect.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, pictures and next steps.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Warbleton
Which environmental health team covers Warbleton?
In Warbleton, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Warbleton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Why survey before a clean?
The survey covers the whole system, grease readings and access to each section. From it, we plan the clean and quote a fixed price.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call 0345 646 2711 or email us to book it in.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What affects the quote in Warbleton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. Planning a trip to Warbleton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
