What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burgh Heath run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work

How we handle canopy cleaning in Burgh Heath
If the canopy in Burgh Heath is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with condensation running down the canopy and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Burgh Heath, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That’s a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Common questions in Burgh Heath
Which fire service covers Burgh Heath?
Burgh Heath 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.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Burgh Heath in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Burgh Heath, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Kitchen extracts in Burgh Heath
Look up Burgh Heath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burgh Heath. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Burgh Heath is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burgh Heath. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Aberdour School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Banstead Hospital (about 2.2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Burgh Heath
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burgh Heath (Fitznells Manor is about 3.4 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burgh Heath
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. A fault that closes a site in a village like Burgh Heath affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
