How we handle canopy cleaning in Pyrford Green
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy edge and grease filters blocking between washes, on baffle filters, grease gutters and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Pyrford Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Pyrford Green.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Kitchen extracts in Pyrford Green
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Pyrford Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Pyrford Green are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Pyrford Green falls to 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.
Historic houses near Pyrford Green, such as Byfleet Manor about 1.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like Pyrford Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. 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. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Questions from Pyrford Green
Can you work in Pyrford Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Pyrford Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Pyrford Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pyrford Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pyrford Green
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Pyrford Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Pyrford Green
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
What we are most often called out for:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Woking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pyrford Green, about 2.6 miles west.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you will receive afterwards
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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 a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
