Canopy cleaning across Thurrock: what to expect

Canopy cleans are done out of hours: 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. The work covers grease gutters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are grease filters blocking between washes and fat running down the front of the hood.

Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.

First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
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.
The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.

Canopy cleaning around Thurrock

From Stanford-le-Hope, Grays and South Ockendon to its smaller places, Thurrock has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in Thurrock, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Coastal kitchens in Thurrock often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

Stanford-le-Hope: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Stanford-le-Hope, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Arthur Bugler Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Leave it or put it right?

When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job.

What canopy cleaning cannot fix

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

A dirty extract fan further along the system
Electrical faults in the canopy
A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out

Part by part

Grease troughs and gutters

Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.

Wall canopies

A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.

Common problems we fix in Thurrock

Any canopy in Thurrock that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
An EHO comment about the canopy
Poor capture at the hood
A hood coated in old grease

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Thurrock. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

FAQs for Thurrock

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.

How much does canopy cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?

Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.

Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?

They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.

How long does canopy cleaning take?

That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
