Canopy cleaning in Muddles Green
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for canopy gutters full of old fat and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, on canopy light fittings, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Muddles Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for most canopies. In a small place like Muddles Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Common questions in Muddles Green
Will you come out to Muddles Green?
Yes, Muddles Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Muddles Green?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Muddles Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Muddles Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Muddles Green
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Kitchen extracts in Muddles Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Muddles Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Muddles Green is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Muddles Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 2.2 miles south-east), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hellingly Hospital Railway is the nearest hospital to Muddles Green, about 2.6 miles east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church or elsewhere in Muddles Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. 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.
