TR19 inspection in West Chiltington Common
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers insurer audits, post-clean checks and wet film thickness tests, and common reasons people get in touch are missing access panels found on survey and checking the result of a recent clean.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like West Chiltington Common gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in West Chiltington Common
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
School kitchens, at schools like West Chiltington Community Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in West Chiltington Common
Can you get to a site in West Chiltington Common?
Yes. West Chiltington Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in West Chiltington Common?
Fire safety enforcement in West Chiltington Common is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Why survey before a clean?
We survey, measure and photograph the system first. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, as suits the job.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Two figures matter: a mean of no more than 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns at any single point, which needs immediate spot cleaning. We show your readings against those figures.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Pre-clean surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
How we price TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
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
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchen extracts in West Chiltington Common
In West Chiltington Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council.

West Chiltington Common, about 41 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in West Chiltington Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. 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 2.4 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- Book the next test on the date in the report
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system, and we clear up before we go. Your opening hours decide when we come to West Chiltington Common, not ours.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
We test between services, early in the morning or after close so the kitchen keeps cooking.
