TR19 inspection in West Wittering, done properly
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. In a busy kitchen, grease can build faster than the minimum intervals allow for, which is why measurement matters. Our readings give your risk assessment real numbers to work from. The work covers wet film thickness tests, access surveys and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are insurers asking for TR19 evidence and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
For a kitchen in or near West Wittering, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

West Wittering kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, West Wittering is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars in and around West Wittering, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. West Wittering sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around West Wittering, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as West Wittering Parochial Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Other services in West Wittering
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens if it’s left?
Sites in West Wittering that have never measured grease can’t tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. In a place like West Wittering, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Questions from West Wittering
Who inspects food businesses in West Wittering?
The local authority for West Wittering is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in West Wittering outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in West Wittering keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you cover West Wittering?
Yes. We cover West Wittering and across West Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is not law; it’s BESA’s specification. The law is the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must manage fire risk, and TR19® is what insurers and fire officers look to.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to West Wittering can be planned properly.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, and note where grease has gathered.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Keep filters clean and in place. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.
