Canopy Cleaning in Leatherhead
We cover Leatherhead for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. Parking in a town like Leatherhead is typically straightforward, so the main questions are access and timing.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Leatherhead
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have poor capture at the hood and fat running down the front of the hood, we can help.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Leatherhead, losing a day’s trade to cleaning isn’t an option, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Leatherhead
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A hood coated in old grease
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Leatherhead Trinity School and Children's Centre or anywhere near Leatherhead, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Leatherhead kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Leatherhead. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Leatherhead. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leatherhead. 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Leatherhead station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Leatherhead is Headley Court, about 2.2 miles east.

How we price canopy cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
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.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted

Leatherhead questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Leatherhead?
That’s Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Leatherhead. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Leatherhead?
Fire safety enforcement in Leatherhead is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
