TR19 inspection in Nyewood

A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. Readings are taken at set points using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. The work covers access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and confirming a clean reached the whole system.

In a village or hamlet like Nyewood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Nyewood

It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nyewood. 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. Fire safety in Nyewood falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Historic houses near Nyewood, such as Uppark about 2.7 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 3.7 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

The process

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Nyewood can be planned properly.

  1. First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
  2. We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
  3. Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
  4. Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
  5. We report back with readings and a fixed quote.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How to get a quote

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Keep to the recommended interval
  • Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
  • Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
  • Keep the route to access panels clear

You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and photos of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.

Clean, correctly fitted filters stop more grease reaching the duct. Missing or damaged filters let grease straight into the plenum.

How we price TR19 inspection

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The times the site is available
  • The condition we find in the survey

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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 normally have a quote within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nyewood

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Nyewood: your questions answered

Can you come to Nyewood after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Nyewood?

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nyewood. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Where does the waste go?

We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.

Will you produce a report for our insurer?

Yes. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection, and an audit report gives you that, along with any actions needed.

What is grease thickness testing?

We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.

What TR19 inspection can’t fix

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
  • Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
  • Hidden runs that need access panels first

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What the work covers

  • Insurer audits
  • Wet film thickness tests
  • Deposit thickness tests
  • Access surveys
  • Post-clean checks
  • Pre-clean surveys

How the job changes from site to site

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School and college kitchens still need their extract checked. Readings show if the interval is right.

Vertical risers

Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease can drain down and pool at the bottom, so we check there.
