About our canopy cleaning in North Fambridge
Every canopy we clean in North Fambridge gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a filter housing caked in grease.
Work in a small place like North Fambridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in North Fambridge
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Fambridge?
That’s Maldon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Fambridge. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work overnight in North Fambridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in North Fambridge keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
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.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you cover North Fambridge?
Yes. North Fambridge is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Why act early in North Fambridge
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. With notice, the visit to North Fambridge can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, 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.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to North Fambridge.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
