The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Frating Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Every canopy we clean in Frating Green gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about heavy deposits behind the grease filters and fat running down the front of the hood.

Frating Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Frating Green?
Yes, Frating Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Frating Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Frating Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Frating Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Frating Green
Food hygiene inspections in Frating Green are the job of Tendring council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Frating Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For a kitchen near Frating Green, the paperwork matters as much as the clean, so you get a certificate and photos every time.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Bent or broken filters
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.

- Wet, greasy drips from the hood

- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
