Canopy cleaning in Martyr's Green, done properly
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a hood coated in old grease.
Work in a small place like Martyr's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Martyr's Green can be planned properly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Martyr's Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Martyr's Green now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Martyr's Green is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Common problems we fix in Martyr's Green
Any canopy in Martyr's Green that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Byfleet Manor is about 2.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing

Questions from Martyr's Green
Which fire service covers Martyr's Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Martyr's Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Martyr's Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
