How we handle canopy cleaning in Wyke
For canopies and hoods in Wyke, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. If you’re dealing with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can help, from island canopies, wall canopies and plenum chambers onwards.
Work in a small place like Wyke starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
In Wyke, 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. Somewhere as small as Wyke, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
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. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Wyke, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.

When to call us in Wyke
Any canopy in Wyke that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Fat running down the front of the hood
If you run a café or takeaway near Ash station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Wyke: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Wyke?
Fire safety enforcement in Wyke is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Wyke?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Kitchen extracts in Wyke
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wyke. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Wyke. 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. Wyke is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wyke Primary School or anywhere near Wyke, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Guildford Hospital about 3.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
