How we handle canopy cleaning in Goldsworth Park
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
In a smaller place like Goldsworth Park, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 pictures.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Goldsworth Park, so let us know how to reach it.
- The canopy is checked from photos 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Goldsworth Park: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Goldsworth Park?
Goldsworth Park is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Goldsworth Park?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Goldsworth Park is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much 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. You get a fixed price before we start.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. 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.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Goldsworth Park
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Goldsworth Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Goldsworth Park get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Goldsworth Park 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Goldsworth Park is Woking Community Hospital, about 1.1 miles east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Goldsworth Primary School or anywhere near Goldsworth Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Around Goldsworth Park
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Milford Green and Coxhill Green, The Crown pub and Woking High School and the streets around them. The closest station to Goldsworth Park is Woking station, about 1 mile east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include The Peacocks (0.9 miles east) and Woking Community Hospital (1.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Brookwood Lye.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What else we do in Goldsworth Park
When to call us in Goldsworth Park
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
What we are most often called out for:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Goldsworth Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
