Surrey · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Brookwood, Surrey
Canopy cleaning for Brookwood, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Brookwood
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. We are often asked to deal with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, on wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers.
In a village or hamlet like Brookwood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Bent or broken filters
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Brookwood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What we’re called out for in Brookwood
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brookwood Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Brookwood
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Kitchen extracts in Brookwood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs, bars and clubs in Brookwood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Brookwood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Brookwood is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Brookwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brookwood, about 1.1 miles north-east. For kitchens close to Brookwood station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
