Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Egham
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. We are often asked to deal with a sticky, discoloured canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and baffle filters.
In a town like Egham, most of the kitchen extracts we are asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the quote in Egham
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Egham?
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
If you cook for passing trade around Egham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep the fan on through service
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Egham.
- 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Common questions in Egham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Egham?
That is Runnymede council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Egham. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Egham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Grease, kitchens and Egham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Egham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Egham. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Egham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Egham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ashford Hospital about 3.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
