Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadford
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, on canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Broadford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)

Kitchen extracts in Broadford
The FSA’s data shows about 15 pubs and bars registered in Broadford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Broadford. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Broadford get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Farnham Road Hospital about 1.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a café or takeaway near Shalford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Where a hall near St Michael, or anywhere in Broadford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Broadford: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadford?
In Broadford, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Broadford?
Broadford is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Broadford now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broadford before we set off.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
