Canopy cleaning in Oxshott, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can help, from canopy light fittings, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Oxshott, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. Everything the job in Oxshott needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Oxshott
Which fire authority looks after Oxshott?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Oxshott. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Oxshott within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
When do you clean the canopy?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your quote will give a time.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Oxshott?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Why act early in Oxshott
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. A site near Oxshott that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Part by part
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
When to call us in Oxshott
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Royal Kent CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Kitchen extracts in Oxshott
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oxshott. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Oxshott are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Oxshott 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.
For kitchens close to Oxshott station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Epsom Cottage Hospital is the nearest hospital to Oxshott, about 2.5 miles east.

How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
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:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
