Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wyatt's Green
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include overflowing grease troughs and gutters and drips from the canopy onto the range, on island canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
In a small place like Wyatt's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Canopy cleaning around Wyatt's Green
Look up Wyatt's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wyatt's Green. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Kitchens in Wyatt's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Wyatt's Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ingatestone Hall is about 3.5 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Doddinghurst Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wyatt's Green knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.

Advice
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Wyatt's Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wyatt's Green?
Kitchens in Wyatt's Green are inspected by Brentwood council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Wyatt's Green?
Yes, Wyatt's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, 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 legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. With notice, the visit to Wyatt's Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Wyatt's Green?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor capture at the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A filter housing caked in grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Wyatt's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
