Essex · Canopy and hood cleaning
Sibley's Green canopy cleaning
We cover Sibley's Green for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Bent or broken filters
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sibley's Green
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you are dealing with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and grease channels that no longer drain, we can put it right, from island canopies, canopy light fittings and wall canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Sibley's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

When to call us in Sibley's Green
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Putteridge High School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Sibley's Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
