Canopy cleaning in Ashburnham
Every canopy we clean in Ashburnham gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. If you have drips from the canopy onto the range and a hood coated in old grease, we can help, from grease gutters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
In a small place like Ashburnham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Ashburnham
Ashburnham questions
Do you work overnight in Ashburnham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Ashburnham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Ashburnham?
Ashburnham is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that is where grease hides.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Common problems we fix in Ashburnham
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Poor capture at the hood
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Ashburnham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ashburnham.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. Leave those to us.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Planning a trip to Ashburnham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
