West Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Wiggonholt TR19 inspection

- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
TR19 inspection in Wiggonholt, done properly
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, photos and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you are dealing with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wiggonholt.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
Do you need TR19 inspection in Wiggonholt?
TR19® is the benchmark that insurers, fire officers and EHOs refer to. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Wiggonholt Church or elsewhere in Wiggonholt, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end
What TR19 inspection cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Deposit thickness tests
- Access surveys
- Wet film thickness tests
- Post-clean checks
- Insurer audits
- Pre-clean surveys
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Diary the next grease test and clean
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can quote to do it.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Wiggonholt
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Wiggonholt and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A WFTT or DTT reading tells each of those kitchens whether its grease is staying under the 200-micron mean. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wiggonholt. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Wiggonholt falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
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 1.5 miles south), access may need planning.

Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
