Penton Grafton canopy cleaning

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What the work involves, part by part

Island canopies

Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.

Plenums and filter housings

Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
