Horton Heath kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Horton Heath, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Horton Heath sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Horton Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 3.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 2 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

TR19 inspection in Horton Heath
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. Typical jobs include sites with gaps in their extract records and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across pre-clean surveys, post-clean checks and deposit thickness tests.
In a smaller place like Horton Heath, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Horton Heath
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Your questions about TR19 inspection in Horton Heath
Which environmental health team covers Horton Heath?
That is Eastleigh council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Horton Heath. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Horton Heath?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Horton Heath needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What is post-clean verification?
Verification means repeat readings and pictures once the clean is done. Any areas that weren’t cleaned properly are flagged.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
The Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) and Deposit Thickness Test (DTT) measure how thick the grease is at a given point. We take readings at set points from canopy to fan.
What do the grease readings need to be?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning right away.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
Extract fan and discharge
We look at where the extract discharges outside, since grease reaches the very end of the system.
When to call us in Horton Heath
When a site in Horton Heath changes owner or cleaning contractor, the records do not always follow. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Kitchens whose menu or hours have changed
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fair Oak Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

- We open the access points used on the clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to 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 give you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Horton Heath
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, and the quote reflects the real job. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why Horton Heath businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat
