What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Holt Pound, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How we handle canopy cleaning in Holt Pound
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include a hood coated in old grease and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, on canopy light fittings, island canopies and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Holt Pound, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Holt Pound
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Holt Pound, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. The fire and rescue service for Holt Pound is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holt Pound. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holt Pound is Chase Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles south. Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint James or anywhere around Holt Pound, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Holt Pound
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we are called out for in Holt Pound
A canopy in Holt Pound picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Farnham Castle is about 2.7 miles north-east), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Holt Pound: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Holt Pound?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Holt Pound included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Holt Pound?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Holt Pound. 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 with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean when you are not cooking, so service isn’t affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- 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
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
