Canopy cleaning in Grayshott
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with an EHO comment about the canopy and a hood coated in old grease, across canopy light fittings, island canopies and grease gutters.
For a smaller kitchen near Grayshott, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extracts in Grayshott
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Grayshott. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Grayshott, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Grayshott. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Grayshott is Haslemere and District Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What else we do in Grayshott
Part by part
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Grayshott questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Grayshott during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grayshott. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Grayshott?
Food hygiene inspections in Grayshott are carried out by East Hampshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you cover Grayshott?
Yes. We work in Grayshott and the rest of Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Why it’s worth doing now in Grayshott
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. A quieter site near Grayshott still needs its system looked after.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep the fan on through service
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A site near Grayshott typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A light fitting that does not work
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
What we are called out for in Grayshott
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Luke or anywhere around Grayshott, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
