Wentworth kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 19 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Wentworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Wentworth. 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. In Wentworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Wentworth, such as Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like St. Peter's Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Wentworth
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and a hood coated in old grease, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Wentworth, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Wentworth
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wentworth.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Wentworth
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Keep the fan on through service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Common problems we fix in Wentworth
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Wentworth: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Wentworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Wentworth: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Wentworth?
Fire safety enforcement in Wentworth is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Wentworth?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
