Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanwell Moor
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are poor capture at the hood and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line

What happens if it’s left?
In Stanwell Moor, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. With notice, the visit to Stanwell Moor can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Stanwell Moor
Can you get to a site in Stanwell Moor?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stanwell Moor included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Stanwell Moor?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stanwell Moor. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
When do you clean the canopy?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stanwell Moor
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Stanwell Moor
Food Standards Agency data counts about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways across Stanwell Moor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Kitchens in Stanwell Moor get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Stanwell Moor falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you cook for passing trade around Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ashford Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stanwell Moor, about 2 miles south-east. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Stanwell Moor, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the quote in Stanwell Moor
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere like Stanwell Moor, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
