Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newdigate
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. Common call-outs are for wet, greasy drips from the hood and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, across plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Newdigate starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Newdigate before we set off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Canopy cleaning around Newdigate
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Newdigate. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In Newdigate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Newdigate. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Langley Green Hospital (about 4.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Newdigate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Newdigate is about 5 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. Across the RH5 area, we can take on canopy cleaning. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Newdigate is one of them. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 14 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newdigate
In Newdigate, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. In a place like Newdigate, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Newdigate
Can the work in Newdigate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Newdigate does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newdigate?
In Newdigate, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Does a canopy clean meet 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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Newdigate and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Bent or broken filters
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Newdigate
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings

When to call us in Newdigate
However carefully a kitchen in Newdigate is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
School kitchens, at schools like Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
