How we handle canopy cleaning in Fullerton
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are grease filters blocking between washes and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Work in a small place like Fullerton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Visits to a village like Fullerton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. In a small place like Fullerton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Why us?

When to call us in Fullerton
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
