For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
About our canopy cleaning in Goose Green
Every canopy we clean in Goose 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. Typical jobs include filters that clog soon after cleaning and grease channels that no longer drain, on baffle filters, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
Work in a small place like Goose Green 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Goose Green
Do you work overnight in Goose Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Goose Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can school kitchens in Goose Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Goose Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Canopy cleaning in Goose Green: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Goose Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Goose Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Goose Green get their food hygiene inspections from Broxbourne council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Westfield Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Goose Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
When to call us in Goose Green
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Goose Green: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Poor capture at the hood
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Goose Green is Hertford County Hospital, about 3 miles north-west.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
