What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Broadley Common, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Planning a trip to Broadley Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadley Common
For canopies and hoods in Broadley Common, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. If you’re dealing with drips from the canopy onto the range and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, we can put it right.
In a small place like Broadley Common, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Broadley Common
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broadley Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broadley Common run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- 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 pictures are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Canopy cleaning in Broadley Common: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadley Common. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Broadley Common sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Broadley Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Alexandra Hospital about 2.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Water Lane Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
