Why it’s worth doing now in Cannon's Green
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Somewhere as small as Cannon's Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Cannon's Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cannon's Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What canopy cleaning looks like in Cannon's Green
Cannon's Green is about 23 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Cannon's 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.
School kitchens, at schools like The Ongar Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Cannon's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Cannon's Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cannon's Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cannon's 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.
Can you work in Cannon's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Cannon's Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Do you work in Cannon's Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Cannon's Green included.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
