Horton questions
Do you work overnight in Horton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Horton can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Horton?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Horton. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in Horton?
Yes. Our technicians work in Horton, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
Between cleans, the mean should stay at 200 microns or below, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Horton?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
TR19 inspection in Horton
Post-clean verification is a check carried out once the cleaning is done, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. If you’re dealing with sections of duct that can’t be reached and sites with gaps in their extract records, we can help, from post-clean checks, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits onwards.
Work in a small place like Horton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Horton
Surveying first means the clean goes to plan. Access problems are spotted in advance rather than on the night, so the clean covers the whole system. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Look out for grease drips round the canopy edge
Any access problems we found are listed with a suggested fix. Fitting them before the next clean means the whole system gets done.
Close the access gaps found during inspection, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What TR19 inspection looks like in Horton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Horton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Epsom and Ewell council inspect food businesses in Horton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Horton is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom Cluster about 0.6 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Horton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For kitchens close to Chessington South station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Somewhere as small as Horton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- Every part of the system is examined, end to end.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for 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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Want a quote for TR19 inspection? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
We look over the canopy, inside and out, with readings where grease collects.
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
