Wrecclesham: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Wrecclesham?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wrecclesham. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wrecclesham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wrecclesham. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long is a canopy clean?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you work in Wrecclesham?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Wrecclesham.
About our canopy cleaning in Wrecclesham
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with poor capture at the hood and greasy streaks across the canopy, on plenum chambers, baffle filters and grease gutters.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Wrecclesham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Wrecclesham
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
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.
How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Wrecclesham when you book.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 happens if it’s left?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Wrecclesham now saves a bigger job later. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
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 we start.

- Every visit written up, with photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Wrecclesham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 32 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in Wrecclesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Wrecclesham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Wrecclesham is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wrecclesham (Farnham Castle is about 1.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Wrecclesham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
