Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Compton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Compton
If the canopy in Compton is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and people most often call us about wet, greasy drips from the hood and a hood coated in old grease.
For a kitchen in or near Compton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
If you need canopy cleaning in Compton, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Compton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in Compton
A canopy clean in Compton now stops the grease spreading further. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. In a place like Compton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Compton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Compton, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Compton. 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. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Compton. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Surrey County Hospital about 2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Compton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Loseley Park, about 1 mile east, is one of the historic houses near Compton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Compton is about 3 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Compton gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Compton among them.
Canopy cleaning in GU3 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

If your site is just outside Compton, we cover Hurtmore (1 mile south), Binscombe (1 mile south-east), Littleton (1 mile east), Shackleford (2 miles south-west) and Onslow Village (2 miles north-east).

Landmarks near Compton
Typical jobs here are in premises near Broadwater School, Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves and The Harrow pub. For rail, the closest station is Farncombe station, about 1.6 miles south-east.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
