How we handle canopy cleaning in Irons Bottom
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include grease filters blocking between washes and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, on canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Irons Bottom starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Irons Bottom rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Irons Bottom questions
Do you cover smaller places like Irons Bottom?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Irons Bottom is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Irons Bottom?
In Irons Bottom, it’s Reigate and Banstead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work

- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Irons Bottom kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around Irons Bottom, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Irons Bottom, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Irons Bottom sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Emmanuel Church or elsewhere in Irons Bottom, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Burys Court School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Irons Bottom is East Surrey Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-east.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for most canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Irons Bottom.
