Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Potter's Green
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with overflowing grease troughs and gutters and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What a clean won’t put right
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Potter's Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

We cover Potter's Green, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Potter's Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you cook for passing trade around Buxted station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Potter's Green is Uckfield Community Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-west. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Potter's Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Potter's Green questions
Will you come out to Potter's Green?
Yes. Potter's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Potter's Green?
Kitchens in Potter's Green are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Potter's Green
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Somewhere as small as Potter's Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Potter's Green
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
