TR19 inspection in Nob's Crook, done properly
Think of a TR19 inspection as the diagnosis before the treatment. We look at the system, take grease readings and photograph what we find, so the quote and the clean fit the real system. Common call-outs are for sites with gaps in their extract records and sections of duct that can’t be reached, on post-clean checks, pre-clean surveys and deposit thickness tests.
For a kitchen in or near Nob's Crook, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Nob's Crook
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nob's Crook. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Nob's Crook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Nob's Crook 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 4.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Nob's Crook, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Nob's Crook is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire.

Around Nob's Crook
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Wyvern Technology College and The Fox & Hounds pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Eastleigh station, about 2.2 miles south-west. A little further out are Wolvesey Castle (4.8 miles north) and Moorgreen Hospital (4.2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Twyford Down and Shawford Down.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Nob's Crook questions
Who inspects food businesses in Nob's Crook?
Food hygiene inspections in Nob's Crook are carried out by Winchester City council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Nob's Crook?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nob's Crook is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
At what point does grease need cleaning?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, with 500 microns or more anywhere needing immediate spot cleaning.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Nob's Crook.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Signs you need TR19 inspection in Nob's Crook
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
What we are most often called out for:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nob's Crook (South Stoneham House is about 4.6 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Regular grease readings keep the cleaning interval honest. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
