Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Egham Hythe
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 an EHO comment about the canopy and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Egham Hythe are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A site near Egham Hythe usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- 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

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Egham Hythe?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Egham Hythe. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Is Egham Hythe in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Egham Hythe included.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Egham Hythe
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
A hospital like Ashford Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep the fan on through service
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
