TR19 inspections and grease testing in Westfield, East Sussex

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.

Canopy and plenum

Behind the filters, the plenum catches plenty of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum on every inspection.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Westfield kitchens: local notes

Look up Westfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Westfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. The fire and rescue service for Westfield is East 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. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Westfield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Conquest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Westfield, about 1.7 miles south. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Westfield (Durhamford Manor is about 3.3 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Westfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
