Why it’s worth doing now in Wanshurst Green
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wanshurst Green is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Wanshurst Green
For canopies and hoods in Wanshurst Green, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after pictures go into your report. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and grease filters blocking between washes.
Somewhere as small as Wanshurst Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your 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.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Wanshurst Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Advice
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Wanshurst Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common questions in Wanshurst Green
Is Wanshurst Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Wanshurst Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
