Canopy cleaning in Hog Hatch
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you have greasy streaks across the canopy and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Hog Hatch, 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. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Canopy cleaning in Hog Hatch: the local picture
There are about 34 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hog Hatch, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Hog Hatch. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hog Hatch. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Folly Hill Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 4.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Leave it or put it right?
A canopy clean in Hog Hatch now stops the grease spreading further. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. A quieter site near Hog Hatch still needs its system looked after.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most canopies. In a place like Hog Hatch, we fit the visit around 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hog Hatch
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 0.9 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
