What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

About our canopy cleaning in Stroud Common
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and grease gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation running down the canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Canopy cleaning around Stroud Common
Fire safety in Stroud Common falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Stroud Common get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Stroud Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stroud Common is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 4.6 miles north-west. For schools such as Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud Common
For a kitchen in Stroud Common, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stroud Common is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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 for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stroud Common.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
