Canopy and hood cleaning in Broad Street Green, Essex
Our technicians work in Broad Street Green on canopy cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
About our canopy cleaning in Broad Street Green
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Typical jobs include a hood coated in old grease and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, across canopy light fittings, grease gutters and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broad Street Green run smoothly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- 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.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote

FAQs for Broad Street Green
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Broad Street Green out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Broad Street Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after Broad Street Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Broad Street Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
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.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Broad Street Green
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Broad Street Green: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Broad Street Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Broad Street Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service.

In Broad Street Green, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees.

If the system at a site near Broad Street Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
