How we handle canopy cleaning in New Haw
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. Typical jobs include a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and fat running down the front of the hood, on plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like New Haw gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in New Haw
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in New Haw during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of New Haw. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in New Haw?
Yes, New Haw is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
When do you clean the canopy?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Your opening hours decide when we come to New Haw, not ours.
- 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.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Common problems we fix in New Haw
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Runnymede Hospital (about 2.3 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in New Haw
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Why act early in New Haw
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. Cleaning it removes that fuel. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat

New Haw kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 82 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 36 takeaways and sandwich shops in New Haw and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers New Haw. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Runnymede council inspect food businesses in New Haw. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in New Haw, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near Byfleet & New Haw station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
