Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanwell
For canopies and hoods in Stanwell, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. If you have grease channels that no longer drain and a filter housing caked in grease, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Stanwell are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters
When to call us in Stanwell
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stanwell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Questions from Stanwell
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stanwell?
Stanwell is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can a school canteen extract in Stanwell be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stanwell, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that is where grease hides.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Stanwell.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stanwell and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
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. In a smaller place like Stanwell, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Stanwell
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 83 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stanwell. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kitchens in Stanwell get their food hygiene inspections from Spelthorne council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Stanwell. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Ashford Hospital, about 0.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
