What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Canopy cleaning in Ewshot, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. If you are dealing with condensation running down the canopy and poor capture at the hood, we can put it right, from baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
Somewhere as small as Ewshot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Ewshot?
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Poor capture at the hood
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 1.9 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Why it’s worth doing now in Ewshot
A canopy clean in Ewshot now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ewshot affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ewshot.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Ewshot
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Ewshot. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Ewshot falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Ewshot, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Ewshot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Ewshot is about 2 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Sites in Ewshot get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Ewshot is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for canopy cleaning. Guildford is in our area too, about 11 miles from Ewshot.
Work in GU10 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on Woodpecker Close, Nuthatch Close and Church Lane and nearby roads. Close by, we work in Warren Corner (1 mile south-west), Redlands (1 mile west), Dora's Green (1 mile south), Hog Hatch (1 mile south-east) and Crondall (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (11 miles east), Woking (12 miles north-east), Camberley (8 miles north-east), Farnham (3 miles south-east), Frimley (7 miles north-east) and Haslemere (12 miles south-east).
Around Ewshot
Typical jobs here are in premises near Basingbourne Park, The Windmill pub and Farnham Heath End School. The closest station to Ewshot is Farnham station, about 2.6 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Museum of Farnham (2.2 miles south-east) and Fleet Community Hospital (3.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Beacon Hill and Farnham Park.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
