How we handle TR19 inspection in Nursted
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. Typical jobs include confirming a clean reached the whole system and kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings, on post-clean checks, deposit thickness tests and access surveys.
Somewhere as small as Nursted, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

Common questions in Nursted
Can you come to Nursted after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Nursted doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Nursted?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Nursted. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
WFTT and DTT are the two methods for measuring grease thickness, in microns. Readings are taken at set points through the system.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What do the grease readings need to be?
The TR19® Grease figures are a mean of 200 microns or less between cleans, and immediate spot cleaning wherever a reading hits 500 microns. Our report sets your readings against both.
Leave it or put it right?
Sites in Nursted that have never measured grease cannot tell whether their cleaning interval suits the kitchen. Measured readings let a competent person set the interval. If the system at a site near Nursted fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
Kitchens that cook for long hours build up grease faster. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nursted run smoothly.
- 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.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
What we are called out for in Nursted
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. TR19® itself is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
What we are most often called out for:
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Nursted, about 1.7 miles north-west.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Nursted kitchens: local notes
Look up Nursted on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nursted. Where they cook under a canopy, a grease reading is the way to tell whether the extract is due a clean. Nursted is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Nursted get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like The Petersfield School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Uppark is about 2.5 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
- Clean or swap grease filters as often as the kitchen needs
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so grease isn’t left building in hidden parts.
