About canopy cleaning in Buckinghamshire

Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers canopy light fittings, wall canopies and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy edge and condensation and grease dripping together.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.

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.
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 pictures and a next clean date.

How we quote

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extracts across Buckinghamshire

Our canopy cleaning work across Buckinghamshire takes in places such as Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for Buckinghamshire, 263 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in Buckinghamshire, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.

Aylesbury: Bursars and site managers at schools such as Buckinghamshire UTC tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Aylesbury station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

Empty the grease troughs before they fill
Keep every filter in place while cooking
Give the canopy a wipe after service
Check filters aren’t leaving gaps

We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.

Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.

Common problems we fix in Buckinghamshire

The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.

Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:

Canopy gutters full of old fat
Grease filters blocking between washes
A filter housing caked in grease
Drips from the canopy onto the range

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

How easy every part is to reach
Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The size of the system
The number of sites or systems

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:

The site address and the type of premises
Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Your last certificate, test record or report
Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Buckinghamshire: your questions answered

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?

Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.

Does a canopy clean meet TR19?

Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What accreditations do you have?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
