How we handle canopy cleaning in Felden
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right, from baffle filters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Felden are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a place like Felden, we fit the visit around your hours.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
Advice
Questions from Felden
Can you get to a site in Felden?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Felden is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Felden?
The local authority for Felden is Dacorum council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.

Kitchen extracts in Felden
The FSA’s data shows about 16 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Felden. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Dacorum council inspect food businesses in Felden. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Felden is covered by Hertfordshire 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Felden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nash Mills Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Felden, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

When to call us in Felden
A canopy in Felden 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Condensation running down the canopy
A hospital like Hemel Hempstead Hospital, about 1.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Felden
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need canopy cleaning in Felden, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
