The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. For a village or hamlet like West Burton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How we handle TR19 inspection in West Burton
Before any clean in West Burton, we survey the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. The work covers access surveys, insurer audits and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are missing TR19 certificates or history and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
Somewhere as small as West Burton, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

West Burton: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in West Burton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Burton included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in West Burton outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in West Burton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do the grease readings need to be?
TR19® Grease says grease should not go over a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much time does an inspection need?
Typically, the inspection takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. The size of the system and the access make the difference.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in West Burton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

What TR19 inspection looks like in West Burton
In West Burton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Burton is covered by West 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere in West Burton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near West Burton, such as Bignor Roman Villa about 0.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 4.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Burton
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays to avoid disruption.
What happens if it’s left?
Don’t wait for an EHO visit or insurance renewal to find gaps in your extract records. A recent inspection report means you’re ready when asked. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Each visit written up, with photos

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Never cook with filters missing
- Keep to the recommended interval
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what TR19 inspection will not do:
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
