Common questions in Pitch Place
Can you get to a site in Pitch Place?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pitch Place included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pitch Place?
In Pitch Place, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Pitch Place?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Pitch Place
Pitch Place, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Pitch Place get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Pitch Place, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Leave it or put it right?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. If the system at a site near Pitch Place fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we are called out for in Pitch Place
Any canopy in Pitch Place that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pitch Place, about 3.9 miles south.

What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Pitch Place can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
