What affects the quote in Westcott
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Canopy cleaning in Westcott, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers grease gutters, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease channels that no longer drain and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Work in a small place like Westcott starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Why it’s worth doing now in Westcott
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. If the system at a site near Westcott fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Westcott and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos 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.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
Westcott questions
Do you work at weekends in Westcott?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Westcott?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Westcott
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Westcott. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Westcott. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Westcott. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Community Hall or elsewhere in Westcott, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 2.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
