Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tye Green
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have fat running down the front of the hood and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Tye Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Tye Green
There are about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tye Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Kitchens in Tye Green get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree 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. Fire safety in Tye Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Commuter trade near Cressing station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Barnabas, or anywhere in Tye Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
When to call us in Tye 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Julien Courtauld Hospital about 2.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tye Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tye Green.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.

Common questions in Tye Green
Do you work at weekends in Tye Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tye Green?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
