Canopy and hood cleaning in Peasmarsh, Surrey

- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Common problems we fix in Peasmarsh
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Broadwater School or anywhere near Peasmarsh, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
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.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Visits to a village like Peasmarsh are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Peasmarsh questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Peasmarsh in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Peasmarsh, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Peasmarsh outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Peasmarsh can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

What else we do in Peasmarsh
What canopy cleaning looks like in Peasmarsh
Look up Peasmarsh on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Peasmarsh. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Peasmarsh. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Peasmarsh. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St Michael, or anywhere in Peasmarsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For kitchens close to Shalford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
