What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a site near Amersham on the Hill, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Amersham on the Hill: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Amersham on the Hill?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Amersham on the Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Amersham on the Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.

Part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. A planned visit to Amersham on the Hill fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why us?
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Do you need canopy cleaning in Amersham on the Hill?
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease channels that no longer drain
For kitchens close to Amersham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
