Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nutfield
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. We’re often asked to deal with a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and fat running down the front of the hood, across plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Nutfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Nutfield is calmer for everyone.
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Nutfield
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Nutfield: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Nutfield?
Yes, Nutfield is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Nutfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Nutfield needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which canopies and hoods 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 information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What canopy cleaning looks like in Nutfield
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Nutfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Nutfield sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Nutfield. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as East Surrey Hospital (about 2.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Nutfield Church CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Nutfield station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nutfield, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
