Grease, kitchens and Furneux Pelham
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Furneux Pelham. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Furneux Pelham are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Furneux Pelham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Furneux Pelham
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you have grease channels that no longer drain and a filter housing caked in grease, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Furneux Pelham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Furneux Pelham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Furneux Pelham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Furneux Pelham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Furneux Pelham?
The local authority for Furneux Pelham is East Hertfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Clean the baffle filters often
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Furneux Pelham before we set off.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
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. If the system at a site near Furneux Pelham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we’re called out for in Furneux Pelham
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Furneux Pelham Church of England School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
