TR19 inspection in South Nutfield
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). The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. If you are dealing with checking the result of a recent clean and missing access panels found on survey, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as South Nutfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Nutfield
Without readings, you are guessing when to clean. 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for South Nutfield?

Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What is grease thickness testing?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, then compare them with the TR19® Grease figures.
Do you work in South Nutfield?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, South Nutfield included.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Under TR19® Grease, the mean thickness should not exceed 200 microns between cleans. 500 microns or more at any point calls for immediate spot cleaning.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
Verification means repeat readings and photos once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to South Nutfield.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease readings are taken at set points using WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- You get a report with readings, photos and recommendations.
How to prepare

- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not box in or cover duct access panels
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Diary the next grease test and clean
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Keep all TR19 records together so you can produce them quickly.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
- Sections with no access, until panels are fitted
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
