What the work involves, part by part

Wall canopies

At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.

School and staff canteen kitchens

In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
