Questions from Manwood Green
Do you work overnight in Manwood Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Manwood Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Manwood Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. We will tell you what to expect.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Manwood Green
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include canopy gutters full of old fat and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across canopy light fittings, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease, kitchens and Manwood Green
Manwood Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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. About 25 miles out from central London, Manwood Green is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Manwood Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Barrington Hall, about 3.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Manwood Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Manwood Green is about 6 miles east of Harlow, in Essex.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Leave it or put it right?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. With notice, the visit to Manwood Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Manwood Green and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
