Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease filter exchange in Horne
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. Common call-outs are for drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease building up behind the canopy filters, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
In a small place like Horne, 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. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Horne
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; East Surrey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horne, about 4.2 miles north-west.

Grease filter exchange in Horne: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Horne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. In Horne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Horne sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Horne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Horne
Which council inspects kitchens in Horne?
In Horne, it’s Tandridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Horne after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Horne can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Do you cover Horne?
Yes. Horne is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
Why act early in Horne
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Horne, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. A fault that closes a site in a village like Horne affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
