Hertfordshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Nether Street canopy cleaning
Our technicians work in Nether Street on deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
What staff can safely do
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Canopy cleaning in Nether Street
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and drips from the canopy onto the range.
Work in a small place like Nether Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nether Street
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hertfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Nether Street
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Alexandra Hospital (about 3.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Nether Street
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Nether Street. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Nether Street sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Nether Street get their food hygiene inspections from East Hertfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Nether Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Widford School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Nether Street is about 4 miles east of Ware, in Hertfordshire.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Nether Street questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Nether Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Nether Street is handled by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Nether Street?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Nether Street can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.

What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
