Canopy cleaning in Ashford Common, done properly
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and condensation and grease dripping together, on wall canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ashford Common gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Ashford Common
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 53 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Ashford Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ashford Common. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Ashford Common falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near St Saviour, or anywhere in Ashford Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Upper Halliford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. When a site near Ashford Common shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Ashford Common
Can a school canteen extract in Ashford Common be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 18 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ashford Common. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ashford Common?
Ashford Common is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What affects the quote in Ashford Common
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Common problems we fix in Ashford Common
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A filter housing caked in grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ashford Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ashford Common, about 1.7 miles north-west.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In a smaller place like Ashford Common, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
