Surrey · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy Cleaning in Ewell
One call covers canopy cleaning in Ewell: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Poor capture at the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Canopy cleaning in Ewell, done properly
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and drips from the canopy onto the range, across island canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Ewell, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Ewell kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ewell. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Ewell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epsom and Ewell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Ewell falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ewell is St. Ebba's Hospital, about 0.9 miles west. Commuter trade near Ewell West station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Ewell, and where the van can go.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
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.
Advice
Common questions in Ewell
Can the work in Ewell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ewell?
The local authority for Ewell is Epsom and Ewell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work in Ewell?
Yes. Our technicians work in Ewell, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood doesn’t take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Before an inspection or an insurer’s visit in Ewell, it helps to have up-to-date records.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Ewell
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
What we are most often called out for:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Fat running down the front of the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Ewell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
