What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cockpole Green.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cockpole Green
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. We’re often asked to deal with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and condensation running down the canopy, across grease gutters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Cockpole Green
A canopy in Cockpole Green picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cockpole Green, about 4.5 miles east.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cockpole Green
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. If the system at a site near Cockpole Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
