About our canopy cleaning in Lower Green
We clean canopies in Lower Green when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about grease filters blocking between washes and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Lower Green
A canopy in Lower Green picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
A kitchen near Esher station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What to look for in a quote

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they recommend a next date
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. In a place like Lower Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Lower Green questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Green?
Kitchens in Lower Green are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are the filters cleaned too?
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.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Other services in Lower Green
Canopy cleaning around Lower Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 22 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lower Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Lower Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Lower Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (about 2.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Lower Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Visits to a village like Lower Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Lower Green
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
