Bognor Regis · TR19 Grease
We clean the full commercial duct run - grease, dry and laundry ductwork, canopy to roof fan - for kitchens, offices and industrial sites across Bognor Regis, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis rates hundreds of food premises, and behind a large share sits an extract duct a canopy clean never reaches - plus the dry ductwork and air-handling that keep its offices and public buildings running.
From Queensway to York Road and Bersted, the town's cooklines vent through long hidden ducting that climbs to a roof fan. We clean it end to end to the TR19 Grease standard - not just the canopy, but the flat and rising sections where grease really collects.
It is not only kitchens: we also clean the dry supply and extract ductwork in Bognor Regis offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-packed laundry runs behind its hotel and care-home dryers. The busiest kitchens - holiday-camp catering kitchens, university refectories, hotel and pub kitchens and the busy seafront takeaways - coat their hidden ducting in grease quickest, and that is the very path a fire follows.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Bognor Regis insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
Because the standard is written around film thickness, it sets the depth that triggers a clean and re-test. In the mixed roof spaces around Queensway and Bersted, a canopy-and-filter wipe leaves the duct interior - where grease piles up and a fire runs - completely alone. We reach the whole Bognor Regis run through existing hatches and new ones we cut, clean back to bright metal, take before-and-after grease-depth figures at set points, and certify it to TR19 Grease with those depths on the record.
By system
The fire risk. Fried-food extract coats duct walls in combustible grease; cleaned canopy to fan and certified to TR19 Grease.
Supply and general extract in offices and public buildings, carrying dust and debris that throttles airflow and loads the air-handling unit; cleaned to TR19.
The hidden one. Tumble-dryer ducting packs with lint - highly combustible - in Bognor Regis hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Bognor Regis
We are in Bognor Regis's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
At a long-established Bognor Regis fish and chip shop, the extract ductwork was lined with grease and carbon that had cut the pull over the range. We scraped and degreased the run back to metal, cleaning the cook line while we were in. The duct came up to bare metal with the fire risk cleared, and we left before-and-after photos and a certificate for the file.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Bognor Regis kitchen these are the tells.
A canopy dripping onto a Queensway cookline, cooking smells forced back to the tables, extraction that no longer clears the steam, grease showing at the filter edges, or a Bognor Regis insurer or fire risk assessor wanting a TR19 certificate you have not got. How often it needs doing follows how hard you cook - a fast-frying York Road kitchen far more than a daytime cafe - and the certificate names the interval, so the next visit is booked, not guessed.
How it runs
Inspect the full Bognor Regis run, find the access gaps in the concealed sections, agree scope and frequency.
Fit inspection hatches where the run is sealed - common in the older Bersted conversions - and protect the kitchen.
Canopy to roof fan, down to bare metal, with before-and-after grease-depth evidence.
TR19 Grease certificate, grease-depth record and next-due date for your Bognor Regis fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Bognor Regis operator to keep ductwork clean, and they reinforce one another.
Fire safety law. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for a Bognor Regis premises must assess and manage fire risk. A grease-laden duct is one of the most serious risks in any catering building, because a flare-up on a Queensway cookline can travel the ductwork and spread fire through concealed voids. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the HSE reinforce the same duty of care.
Insurance. To a Bognor Regis insurer a current TR19 Grease certificate is the proof the extract has been kept up. Let it lapse and a fire claim can be scaled back or declined outright - the kind of gap nobody wants to find with the kitchen already gutted.
Hygiene and environmental health. When Arun District Council carries out a food hygiene inspection it judges the physical state of the premises, and ventilation is part of that. A grease-choked extract can pull down the rating an Environmental Health Officer gives, on top of the odour and the weakening airflow your staff put up with.
It is set by cooking hours under TR19 Grease - roughly every three months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every six for moderate, every twelve for light. A hard-frying Queensway kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime York Road cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes - from Queensway and York Road kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Bognor Regis and the wider West Sussex.
The full run, canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan - the hidden sections a canopy-only clean leaves loaded, which matters in the tight stock around Queensway and Bersted where the runs are long and awkward.
A dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs of each section, and an access report for your fire logbook - the evidence a Queensway operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Bognor Regis offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the West Sussex hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Bognor Regis run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a York Road cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Queensway and York Road kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Local knowledge
Bognor Regis is building a new industrial future on its northern edge, where the seventy-hectare Enterprise Bognor Regis scheme took Rolls-Royce as its first anchor tenant across some four hundred and fifty thousand square feet of manufacturing space. Modern plants like these hide their dust and fume inside sealed ductwork rather than the open factory air of the old Shripney Road fridge works, where grease and debris build unseen until airflow fails or fire finds a path. We clean and inspect ventilation and extract ductwork across the town, then hand over photographic before-and-after evidence of every run.
