About our TR19 inspection in Woolmer Hill
If you’ve taken over a kitchen in Woolmer Hill and do not know when the extract was last cleaned, an inspection is the place to start. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. The work covers access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean and surveys needed before quoting a full clean.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t box in or cover duct access panels
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Flag oily drips near the extract
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It shows if build-up is speeding up.
TR19 inspection around Woolmer Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Woolmer Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Woolmer Hill is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Woolmer Hill 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. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere as small as Woolmer Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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 photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Questions from Woolmer Hill
Who inspects food businesses in Woolmer Hill?
The local authority for Woolmer Hill is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Woolmer Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Woolmer Hill is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
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.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Woolmer Hill
When a site in Woolmer Hill changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records don’t always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul or anywhere around Woolmer Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

- Whether the price is fixed
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Access to risers is often limited. We record what can and can’t be reached.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Hidden runs that need access panels first
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Ductwork that was designed or installed badly
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
