Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cudworth
If the canopy in Cudworth 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 email photos, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are condensation running down the canopy and filters that never seem to stay clean.
For a kitchen in or near Cudworth, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Grease, kitchens and Cudworth
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in Cudworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Cudworth 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. In Cudworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Cudworth, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Cudworth
Can a school canteen extract in Cudworth be done out of term time?
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 Cudworth. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cudworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Cudworth are carried out by Mole Valley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Cudworth is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Cudworth
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 typically have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cudworth
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cudworth affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
