What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
About our TR19 inspection in Nutbourne
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Missing records can lead to a claim being reduced or refused. Our TR19 audits give sites in Nutbourne and across West Sussex a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers deposit thickness tests, pre-clean surveys and post-clean checks, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchens whose menu or hours have changed and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits.
In a small place like Nutbourne, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What we are called out for in Nutbourne
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers look to TR19® as the benchmark. It isn’t legislation; the legal duty comes from the Fire Safety Order 2005, under which the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and grease in the extract is part of that risk.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Nutbourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Why it’s worth doing now in Nutbourne
Skipping grease testing leaves the cleaning interval to guesswork. If grease reaches 500 microns anywhere, TR19® Grease calls for immediate spot cleaning, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. A planned visit to Nutbourne is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fully insured
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Questions from Nutbourne
Which environmental health team covers Nutbourne?
Kitchens in Nutbourne are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Nutbourne?
Nutbourne is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. Each reading is recorded in microns.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What does a pre-clean survey involve?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and photos. We can work from photos and details, or visit, as suits the job.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Nutbourne and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

- The responsible person’s own fire risk assessment
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted

TR19 inspection around Nutbourne
About 41 miles out from central London, Nutbourne is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Nutbourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as West Chiltington Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Place Manor is about 1.8 miles west), access may need planning.
Nutbourne is about 3 miles north of Storrington, in West Sussex. Nutbourne gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Nutbourne is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page, about 17 miles away.
