Canopy and hood cleaning in Crondall, Surrey
Professional canopy cleaning in and around Crondall, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Poor capture at the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Canopy cleaning in Crondall
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have greasy streaks across the canopy and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Crondall, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Crondall
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

What we are called out for in Crondall
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Crondall, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Crondall, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Common questions in Crondall
Which fire authority looks after Crondall?
Fire safety enforcement in Crondall 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.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Crondall out of term?
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 Crondall. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
It takes a few hours for most canopies. Your quote will give a time.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
