Canopy and hood cleaning in Egham Wick, Surrey
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out for commercial sites in Egham Wick and across Surrey. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Egham Wick
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy edge and grease channels that no longer drain.
In a small place like Egham Wick, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Questions from Egham Wick
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Egham Wick out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Egham Wick. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Egham Wick?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Typically because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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 to a regular schedule.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Egham Wick.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A light fitting that does not work
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Egham Wick
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses across Egham Wick 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. In Egham Wick, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Egham Wick is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude, or anywhere in Egham Wick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Egham Wick (Frogmore House is about 3.6 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Common problems we fix in Egham Wick
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Egham Wick: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
School kitchens, at schools like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
