In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Canopy cleaning in Broad Green, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for a hood coated in old grease and grease channels that no longer drain, across island canopies, baffle filters and grease gutters.
In a small place like Broad Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Broad Green
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Condensation running down the canopy
Layer Marney Tower, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Broad Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include

- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
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.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Broad Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Kitchen extracts in Broad Green
Broad Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. We cover Broad Green, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Broad Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Honywood Community Science School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Broad Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Green?
Yes, Broad Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Broad Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Broad Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
When do you clean the canopy?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
What about areas you can’t get to?
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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
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.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
