Surrey · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Haslemere, Surrey
We cover Haslemere for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
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.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Canopy cleaning in Haslemere
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: 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 fat running down the front of the hood and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Haslemere gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Haslemere
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 0.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Kitchen extracts in Haslemere
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Haslemere. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Haslemere falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Haslemere, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Christopher or anywhere around Haslemere, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Haslemere station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Tell us when your site near Haslemere is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Why act early in Haslemere
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Haslemere at a time that suits you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Haslemere
Can you get to a site in Haslemere?
Yes. Haslemere is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Haslemere?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Haslemere. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
