Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
About our canopy cleaning in Hill Grove
Every canopy we clean in Hill Grove gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. If you are dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can put it right, from plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hill Grove, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a village like Hill Grove are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hill Grove
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Where a hall near Church of St Barnabas, or anywhere in Hill Grove, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
