What canopy cleaning looks like in Mayes Green
Mayes Green sits within the area of 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. At about 28 miles from central London, Mayes Green sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Mayes Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Canopy cleaning in Mayes Green
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and poor capture at the hood, across wall canopies, island canopies and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Mayes Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Mayes Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mayes Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Mayes Green are carried out by Mole Valley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you work in Mayes Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Mayes Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mayes Green run smoothly.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we’re called out for in Mayes Green
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mayes Green is Horsham Hospital, about 6 miles south-east.

What happens if it’s left?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. A fault that closes a site in a village like Mayes Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
