Our canopy cleaning service in Surrey

Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are often asked to deal with grease channels that no longer drain and greasy streaks across the canopy, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and island canopies.

We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.

First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Local landmarks in Guildford

Typical jobs here are in premises near Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St John the Evangelist (less than half a mile east), Stoke Park (within half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (under half a mile south-east). The nearest railway station is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Where we work in Surrey

In Surrey, a busy kitchen in a place such as Guildford, Woking and Camberley and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.

From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in Surrey and beyond.

Guildford: If you cook for passing trade around London Road (Guildford) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sandfield Primary School or anywhere near Guildford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Surrey

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

When it’s something else

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)

What staff can safely do

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. That is our job.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Part by part

Grease troughs and gutters

Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.

Wall canopies

Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.

What we’re called out for in Surrey

Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

Poor capture at the hood
Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Grease filters blocking between washes
Overflowing grease troughs and gutters

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Surrey

Why is my canopy dripping grease?

Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.

Does a canopy clean meet TR19?

On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Which accreditations do you hold?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Do you cover Surrey?

Yes. We work in Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What kinds of canopies do you clean?

Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.

How long does canopy cleaning take?

One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before work begins.
