Warnham questions
Which fire authority looks after Warnham?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Warnham after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Warnham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much time does an inspection need?
An inspection takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Large or multiple systems take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to book it in.
TR19 inspection in Warnham, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. Readings, photos and notes on access are gathered from end to end, so the clean can be planned properly. The work covers insurer audits, wet film thickness tests and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are uncertainty over how often to clean and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a village or hamlet like Warnham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
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.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
- The grease itself, which needs a full or spot clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the next grease test and clean
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It shows if build-up is speeding up.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. For a village or hamlet like Warnham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
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.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Warnham
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered in Warnham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Warnham falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Warnham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horsham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Warnham, about 1.8 miles south-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Warnham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Warnham CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why act early in Warnham
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. Somewhere as small as Warnham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of horizontal ducts as the air cools. Readings are taken along each run through its access panels.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. We take readings there and photograph it as part of every survey.
