TR19 inspections and grease testing in Nash, Kent
Our technicians work in Nash on TR19 inspections and grease testing. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
TR19 inspection in Nash, done properly
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. We check where the access panels are and whether every section can be reached, and record grease readings at set points. We are often asked to deal with kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on access surveys, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks.
In a village or hamlet like Nash, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Nash kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Nash, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Nash. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Nash are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Elmstone Church or elsewhere in Nash, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Martins Hospital is the nearest hospital to Nash, about 6 miles west.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Nash
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need TR19 inspection in Nash, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, photos and any areas not accessible.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nash, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
Do you need TR19 inspection in Nash?
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nash (Goodnestone Park is about 3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Your questions about TR19 inspection in Nash
Will you come out to Nash?
Yes, Nash is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Nash?
Fire safety enforcement in Nash is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
