Canopy cleaning across Milton Keynes: what to expect

Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers grease gutters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke hanging around the canopy during service and grease channels that no longer drain.

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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies.

  1. The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
  2. Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
  3. With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
  4. The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
  5. We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.

Canopy cleaning around Milton Keynes

Across Milton Keynes, from Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

We work across London and the South East, and Milton Keynes is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in Milton Keynes.

Milton Keynes: If you run a café or takeaway near Milton Keynes Central station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Milton Keynes is Milton Keynes University Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-east.

What we’re called out for in Milton Keynes

Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.

Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:

  • An EHO comment about the canopy
  • Greasy streaks across the canopy
  • A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
  • Grease filters blocking between washes

How we price canopy cleaning

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The number of sites or systems
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Helping us quote

You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The site address and the type of premises

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What the work involves, part by part

Grease troughs and gutters

Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.

Pub and hotel kitchens

Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That’s a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.

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, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether VAT is included

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Milton Keynes

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

What happens to the waste?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What kinds of canopies 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.

What types of premises do you cover?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
