Canopy cleaning in Tendring Green
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for an EHO comment about the canopy and canopy gutters full of old fat, on canopy light fittings, island canopies and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Tendring Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tendring Green before we set off.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Common questions in Tendring Green
Which fire authority looks after Tendring Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tendring Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Tendring Green?
That is Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tendring Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Tendring Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that’s where grease hides.

What else we do in Tendring Green
Common problems we fix in Tendring Green
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Where a hall near Church of St Edmund, or anywhere in Tendring Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
