Canopy cleaning in Dora's Green
We clean canopies in Dora's Green when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers grease gutters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are wet, greasy drips from the hood and greasy streaks across the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos 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 the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
Common problems we fix in Dora's Green
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Poor capture at the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
For schools such as Crondall Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. In a small place like Dora's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Canopy cleaning around Dora's Green
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Dora's Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Dora's Green falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dora's Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dora's Green (Farnham Castle is about 1.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Dora's Green questions
Do you work overnight in Dora's Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Dora's Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Dora's Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Dora's Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
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.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Dora's Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
