How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Horizontal duct runs
Bends and long runs can hold heavy deposits, out of sight of the kitchen.
TR19 inspection in Westhampnett, done properly
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. 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 pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and access surveys, and common reasons people get in touch are surveys needed before quoting a full clean and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a village or hamlet like Westhampnett, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Westhampnett: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Westhampnett?
The local authority for Westhampnett 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.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Westhampnett out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Westhampnett. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much time does an inspection need?
It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. The visit is timed so cooking is not disrupted.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Any access problems are flagged so they can be sorted first.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Heavy deposits found on test, which still need cleaning
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Pre-clean surveys
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
Kitchen extracts in Westhampnett
Food Standards Agency records list about 91 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways in Westhampnett and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. Food hygiene inspections in Westhampnett are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Westhampnett falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Westhampnett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The March CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Westhampnett, such as Goodwood House about 1.6 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What happens if it’s left?
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, which you will not know without measuring. Somewhere as small as Westhampnett, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
