Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Byfleet and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
About our canopy cleaning in Byfleet
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a sticky, discoloured canopy and condensation running down the canopy.
In a smaller place like Byfleet, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Byfleet, so let us know how to reach it.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
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 email us.

Byfleet kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Byfleet, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Byfleet is 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. Environmental health officers from Woking council inspect food businesses in Byfleet. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Commuter trade near Byfleet & New Haw station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Byfleet
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Byfleet is Runnymede Hospital, about 3.5 miles north-west.
What your quote should include

- What records you will receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Byfleet questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Byfleet?
Fire safety enforcement in Byfleet is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Byfleet?
The local authority for Byfleet is Woking council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
Do you work in Byfleet?
Yes. Byfleet is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
