Canopy cleaning in Tandridge
We clean canopies in Tandridge when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and fat running down the front of the hood, on grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Canopy cleaning around Tandridge
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Tandridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Tandridge get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Tandridge sits within the area of 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.
Titsey Place, about 3.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Tandridge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Tandridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tandridge before we set off.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Tandridge
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Poor capture at the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tandridge is Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, about 1.9 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Tandridge

Questions from Tandridge
Which fire service covers Tandridge?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Tandridge. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Tandridge?
Yes. Tandridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
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. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
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 Tandridge
In Tandridge, 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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
