Common questions in Hangersley
Can school kitchens in Hangersley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Hangersley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Hangersley?
Yes. Hangersley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Most changes take a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, so the impact is small. We will fit it around your service wherever possible.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, or we will check on the first visit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Hangersley
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you are dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Hangersley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Hangersley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What happens if it’s left?
In Hangersley, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hangersley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What affects the quote in Hangersley
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
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.
