Canopy cleaning in Stambourne Green
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Common call-outs are for filters that never seem to stay clean and poor capture at the hood, on wall canopies, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
Work in a small place like Stambourne Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.
How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters

Stambourne Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Stambourne Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Stambourne Green can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stambourne Green?
The local authority for Stambourne Green is Braintree council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
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.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
Do you cover Stambourne Green?
Yes. Stambourne Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What we’re called out for in Stambourne Green
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Every clean in and around Stambourne Green is signed off with a certificate and before-and-after pictures.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Stambourne Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- 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 photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
