FAQs for Nursted
Can you come to Nursted after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Nursted keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Nursted?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nursted is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Nursted
Ductwork in Nursted is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you’re dealing with sections of duct with no access panels and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, we can put it right.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the quote in Nursted
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nursted, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s simpler to plan the work at Nursted now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Grease, kitchens and Nursted
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Nursted and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Nursted falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nursted. 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.
Uppark, about 2.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Nursted; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as The Petersfield School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Nursted is about 2 miles south-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Sites in Nursted get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Nursted is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. Portsmouth is in our area too, about 14 miles from Nursted.
