How we handle canopy cleaning in South Earlswood
If the canopy in South Earlswood is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you have a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and an EHO comment about the canopy, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, baffle filters and island canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near South Earlswood, 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, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for South Earlswood
Who is the fire and rescue service for South Earlswood?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Earlswood. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in South Earlswood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in South Earlswood can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You’ll know before we start.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
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 happens to the filters during the clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep the fan on through service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like South Earlswood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

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, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
