About our canopy cleaning in Pachesham Park
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are a filter housing caked in grease and poor capture at the hood.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Pachesham Park
Any canopy in Pachesham Park that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom Cottage Hospital about 2.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Common questions in Pachesham Park
Can you come to Pachesham Park after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Pachesham Park doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Pachesham Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.

Why act early in Pachesham Park
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pachesham Park now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Pachesham Park run smoothly.
- 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.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Kitchen extracts in Pachesham Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pachesham Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Pachesham Park get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Pachesham Park. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Therfield School or anywhere near Pachesham Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Homewood is about 3 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
