How we handle TR19 inspection in West Stoke
Taking on a kitchen in West Stoke with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and insurer audits, and people most often call us about insurers asking for TR19 evidence and extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean.
In a village or hamlet like West Stoke, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in West Stoke
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to West Stoke and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you need TR19 inspection in West Stoke?
Grease in a duct is flammable fuel. Flames from the range can be pulled into the canopy and travel through the ducts to other parts of the building. Knowing how much there is lets you act before it becomes a hazard.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishop Luffa School or anywhere near West Stoke, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections can’t be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
Leave it or put it right?
An EHO visit, an insurance renewal or a fire risk assessment is a bad time to find your extract records are thin. A recent inspection report means you are ready when asked. With notice, the visit to West Stoke can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat duct runs collect grease along their base. We test at points along the run through access panels.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Design faults in the extract system
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

TR19 inspection around West Stoke
Look up West Stoke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of West Stoke. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in West Stoke get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Stoke sits within the area of 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in West Stoke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near West Stoke, such as West Dean House about 3.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
