Part by part
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
Canopy cleaning in Busbridge
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for condensation running down the canopy and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
For a kitchen in or near Busbridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What else we do in Busbridge
Canopy cleaning around Busbridge
The FSA’s data shows about 12 pubs and bars registered in Busbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Busbridge falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Busbridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Busbridge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Busbridge
Which environmental health team covers Busbridge?
That is Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Busbridge. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Busbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Busbridge can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote

Advice
What we’re called out for in Busbridge
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist Church or elsewhere in Busbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the price is fixed
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. A planned visit to Busbridge is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
