Canopy and hood cleaning in Hurst Green, Surrey
Canopy cleaning across Hurst Green and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Canopy cleaning in Hurst Green, done properly
For canopies and hoods in Hurst Green, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are filters that never seem to stay clean and poor capture at the hood.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings

- Plenum chambers

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Hurst Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hurst Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hurst Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Hurst Green?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hurst Green knowing what to expect.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Related advice
When to call us in Hurst Green
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hurst Green Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
Why it’s worth doing now in Hurst Green
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Somewhere as small as Hurst Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What affects the quote in Hurst Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
