How we handle canopy cleaning in Blindley Heath
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. Typical jobs include filters that clog soon after cleaning and an EHO comment about the canopy, on grease gutters, island canopies and plenum chambers.
Work in a small place like Blindley Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What affects the quote in Blindley Heath
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What we do, step by step
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. Visits to a village like Blindley Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep the fan on through service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.

Kitchen extracts in Blindley Heath
In Blindley Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. We cover Blindley Heath, about 21 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Blindley Heath is Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, about 4.8 miles north-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evanglist or elsewhere in Blindley Heath, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Blindley Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Blindley Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Blindley Heath?
Kitchens in Blindley Heath are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Normally because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
