Canopy cleaning in Flowers Green
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you have a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and poor capture at the hood, we can put it right.
In a small place like Flowers Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Grease, kitchens and Flowers Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Flowers Green. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Flowers Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Flowers Green are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Amberstone Hospital (about 2.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Flowers Green, such as Horselunges Manor about 3.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Honest limits
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings

Flowers Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Flowers Green?
Yes. Flowers Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Flowers Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Flowers Green is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that’s where grease hides.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it 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 Flowers Green run smoothly.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

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. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flowers Green
A canopy clean in Flowers Green now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Planning a trip to Flowers Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
