Questions from Norney
Which fire service covers Norney?
Fire safety enforcement in Norney is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Norney?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Norney is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
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. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Norney
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for greasy streaks across the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning, across grease gutters, island canopies and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Norney 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Norney
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School or anywhere near Norney, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
Why act early in Norney
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings

Grease, kitchens and Norney
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Norney and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Norney. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Norney is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Loseley Park is about 2.5 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Norney is Milford Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-east.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Norney, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
