Canopy cleaning around Staple Tye
The FSA’s data shows about 25 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Staple Tye and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Staple Tye sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Staple Tye get their food hygiene inspections from Harlow council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St James with St Luke or elsewhere in Staple Tye, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stewards Academy - Science Specialist or anywhere near Staple Tye, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Staple Tye is Princess Alexandra Hospital, about 1.3 miles north.

Canopy cleaning in Staple Tye
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Common call-outs are for wet, greasy drips from the hood and a sticky, discoloured canopy, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and baffle filters.
In a smaller place like Staple Tye, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing

What affects the quote in Staple Tye
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep the fan on through service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Why deal with it now?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. When a site near Staple Tye shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Managing agents and facilities teams in Staple Tye
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Staple Tye: your questions answered
Can you work in Staple Tye outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Staple Tye can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Staple Tye?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Staple Tye is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to Staple Tye, not ours.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
