Common problems we fix in Horton-cum-Studley
You can’t judge grease thickness by eye. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
- Missing TR19 certificates or history
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Churchill Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horton-cum-Studley, about 4.5 miles south-west.

TR19 inspection in Horton-cum-Studley
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. 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. If you have missing TR19 certificates or history and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, insurer audits and access surveys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Horton-cum-Studley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Horton-cum-Studley
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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 on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Horton-cum-Studley.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote

Why act early in Horton-cum-Studley
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Ignored, the layer only gets thicker. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Horton-cum-Studley is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, including readings, pictures and any inaccessible sections.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
