How we handle TR19 inspection in Nursling
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 grease readings are taken at set points. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, across post-clean checks, access surveys and wet film thickness tests.
For a smaller kitchen near Nursling, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. A site near Nursling normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Also in Nursling
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Nursling
Not every section of a kitchen extract is easy to get to, so those sections can be skipped time and again. A survey finds the sections that can’t be reached, so panels can be fitted.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Lord's Hill Church or anywhere around Nursling, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Heavy use under BESA guidance, 12 to 16 hours a day, means a clean at least every 3 months, and readings show whether that is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Nursling
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Nursling questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Nursling during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Nursling, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after Nursling?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nursling. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, taking the readings and the kitchen’s hours into account. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
Do you carry out TR19 audits for insurers?
Yes, anywhere in the area we cover. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What does TR19 inspection cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why act early in Nursling
If a kitchen in Nursling has been cleaned on the same calendar for years, there’s no way to know if that interval is right without measuring. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Nursling at a time that suits you.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Full insurance on every job

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the recommended interval
- Never cook with filters missing
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
Nursling kitchens: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Nursling is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Nursling. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Nursling get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4 miles east), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nursling is Princess Anne Hospital, about 1.5 miles east.
Nursling is about 2 miles north-east of Totton, in Southampton. Sites in Nursling get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across Southampton, we cover 40 places, Nursling among them.
