Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Windlesham
We clean canopies in Windlesham when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have a hood coated in old grease and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help.
In a smaller place like Windlesham, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Windlesham?
However carefully a kitchen in Windlesham is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
For schools such as Windlesham Village Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
What affects the quote in Windlesham
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why act early in Windlesham
In Windlesham, 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 keeping it that way is easier than catching up. When a site near Windlesham shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy undersized for the equipment

Questions from Windlesham
Which fire authority looks after Windlesham?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Windlesham?
Yes, Windlesham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
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 email us.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Windlesham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Windlesham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Windlesham are the job of Surrey Heath council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Windlesham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Windlesham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Windlesham is about 4 miles north-east of Camberley, in Surrey.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Tell us when your site near Windlesham is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
