About our canopy cleaning in Godstone
If the canopy in Godstone is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and grease filters blocking between washes, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Godstone, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Godstone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- 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.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Godstone
A canopy clean in Godstone now stops the grease spreading further. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Planning a trip to Godstone ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Godstone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
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.

Kitchen extracts in Godstone
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Godstone. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Fire safety in Godstone falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Godstone get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Godstone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Caterham Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Godstone, about 2.5 miles north. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Godstone Village School or anywhere near Godstone, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Godstone: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Godstone?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Godstone is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Godstone?
In Godstone, it’s Tandridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
