Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Forest Green
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are canopy gutters full of old fat and grease filters blocking between washes.
Work in a small place like Forest Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What we do, step by step
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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Forest Green knowing what to expect.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Forest Green
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Whether the kitchen is in Forest Green itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included

What else we do in Forest Green
Why act early in Forest Green
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. In a place like Forest Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- In business since 2009
- Fully insured

Canopy cleaning in Forest Green: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Forest Green are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Forest Green is 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Forest Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Forest Green questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Forest Green?
Forest Green is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Forest Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Forest Green keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you cover Forest Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Forest Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
