About our canopy cleaning in Great Bookham
We clean canopies in Great Bookham when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for condensation running down the canopy and grease dripping from the canopy edge, on canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and grease gutters.
In a smaller place like Great Bookham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Great Bookham kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Bookham. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Great Bookham is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Great Bookham get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicolas or anywhere around Great Bookham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Great Bookham is Headley Court, about 4.1 miles east. School kitchens, at schools like The Dawnay School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Great Bookham: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Great Bookham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Great Bookham?
Yes, Great Bookham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Leave it or put it right?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Booking now means the visit to Great Bookham is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
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.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Great Bookham, so let us know how to reach it.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
