Canopy cleaning in Frimley
We clean canopies in Frimley when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have a sticky, discoloured canopy and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help, from island canopies, plenum chambers and wall canopies onwards.
Around a town like Frimley, extract cleaning typically means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Frimley.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why act early in Frimley
For a kitchen in Frimley, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Frimley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 18 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Frimley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Frimley sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Frimley are the job of Surrey Heath council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lakeside Primary School or anywhere near Frimley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. For kitchens close to Frimley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What we are called out for in Frimley
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Frimley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Frimley: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Frimley?
That’s Surrey Heath council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Frimley. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in Frimley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Frimley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. We will tell you what to expect.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
