Canopy and hood cleaning in Kingsley Green, Surrey

- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation running down the canopy
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That’s a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.

What else we do in Kingsley Green
Kingsley Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Kingsley Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Kingsley Green. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Kingsley Green is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Kingsley Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Fernhurst Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Kingsley Green is about 10 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Surrey.

What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, 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 an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Kingsley Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Kingsley Green
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When to call us in Kingsley Green
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Kingsley Green: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Look out for any of the following:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Kingsley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Kingsley Green
Do you work in villages like Kingsley Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kingsley Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Kingsley Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Kingsley Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
When do you clean the canopy?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
