About our canopy cleaning in Wormley

We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 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 are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with canopy gutters full of old fat and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right.

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.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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 the work involves, part by part

Island canopies

The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.

Wall canopies

At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.

Canopy cleaning around Wormley

In Wormley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Wormley is 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.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as King Edward's School Witley tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Wormley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A kitchen near Witley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Multi-site and managed buildings

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

How it works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wormley knowing what to expect.

  1. The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
  2. Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
  3. We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
  4. Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
  5. Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Wormley: your questions answered

Can school kitchens in Wormley be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Wormley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

What’s TR19?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

Where does the waste go?

We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Will I get a report after the canopy clean?

A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What staff can safely do

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
  • Report new drips or smells from the canopy
  • Keep every filter in place while cooking
  • Run the extract the whole time you are cooking

We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.

The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.

Why deal with it now?

Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Wormley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
