FAQs for Stonehill
Is Stonehill within the area you cover?
Yes, Stonehill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stonehill?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stonehill. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Canopy cleaning in Stonehill
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. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Somewhere as small as Stonehill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Bent or broken filters
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
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. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
What affects the quote in Stonehill
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stonehill knowing what to expect.
- The canopy is checked from pictures 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem 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.

Kitchen extracts in Stonehill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stonehill. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Stonehill is covered by 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. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stonehill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Botleys Mansion is about 1.4 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Stonehill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Peter's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stonehill, about 1.8 miles north-east.

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Stonehill, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. It’s simpler to plan the work at Stonehill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
