What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Frimley Green
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for filters that clog soon after cleaning and poor capture at the hood, across canopy light fittings, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
Kitchens around a place like Frimley Green are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Canopy cleaning in Frimley Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Frimley Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Frimley Green is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Frimley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Cross Farm Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Frimley Park Hospital (about 1.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near Farnborough North station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Frimley Green than wait for a failure.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Frimley Green: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Frimley Green?
Frimley Green is in the area of 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.
Who inspects food businesses in Frimley Green?
The local authority for Frimley Green is Surrey Heath council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Do you cover Frimley Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Frimley Green included.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. Around Frimley Green, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
