West Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Warminghurst TR19 inspection
For TR19 inspection in Warminghurst, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
TR19 inspection in Warminghurst, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. A TR19 audit sets out the system’s condition, with readings and pictures, for sites in Warminghurst and the rest of West Sussex. Typical jobs include kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
Work in a small place like Warminghurst starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Warminghurst
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
The audit report is set out to pass straight to your insurer or broker, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Warminghurst
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Warminghurst. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Food hygiene inspections in Warminghurst are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Warminghurst sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Sepulchre or anywhere around Warminghurst, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Parham House is about 3.9 miles south-west), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Ashington CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Warminghurst, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
FAQs for Warminghurst
Is Warminghurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Warminghurst?
The local authority for Warminghurst is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from pictures and details or on site, as suits the job.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Warminghurst
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
