Titsey canopy cleaning
Our technicians work in Titsey on deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
How we handle canopy cleaning in Titsey
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Typical jobs include canopy gutters full of old fat and greasy streaks across the canopy, across canopy light fittings, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
For a kitchen in or near Titsey, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Titsey questions
Do you work at weekends in Titsey?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Titsey can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Titsey during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Titsey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is Titsey in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Titsey included.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Titsey.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Canopy cleaning around Titsey
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Titsey. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Titsey. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Titsey. 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.
Where a hall near Church of St James the Greater, or anywhere in Titsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oxted School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tandridge Priory about 1.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Titsey is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Titsey gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, Titsey among them. London is in our area too, about 16 miles from Titsey.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Titsey
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the baffle filters often
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Titsey is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
