Canopy cleaning in Ramsnest Common, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for wet, greasy drips from the hood and a filter housing caked in grease, across island canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
In a small place like Ramsnest Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Ramsnest Common questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Ramsnest Common?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ramsnest Common. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Ramsnest Common?
Yes. Ramsnest Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Typically because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that’s where grease hides.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s 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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ramsnest Common
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ramsnest Common now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
Do you need canopy cleaning in Ramsnest Common?
Grease does not build up any differently in Ramsnest Common: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A hood coated in old grease
A TR19® clean in Ramsnest Common doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need canopy cleaning in Ramsnest Common, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ramsnest Common.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
