Surrey · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Kingswood, Surrey
Canopy cleaning across Kingswood and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Poor capture at the hood
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Canopy cleaning in Kingswood
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you are dealing with a hood coated in old grease and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can help.
In a smaller place like Kingswood, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Kingswood
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
What we are most often called out for:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Poor capture at the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
If you run a café or takeaway near Kingswood station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What affects the quote in Kingswood
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Want a quote for canopy cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
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:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Bent or broken filters
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Kingswood when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Kingswood.

All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that is where grease hides.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
