- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
When to call us in Roe Green
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sandon Junior Mixed and Infant School or anywhere near Roe Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Roe Green
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection.
In a small place like Roe Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Roe Green run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Roe 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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Roe Green, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. If the system at a site near Roe Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Roe Green
Do you cover smaller places like Roe Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Roe Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Roe Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Roe Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
