About canopy cleaning in Wokingham
We clean canopies in Wokingham when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and grease gutters, and people most often call us about wet, greasy drips from the hood and poor capture at the hood.
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 pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for most canopies.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
What you will pay
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We’re fully insured
- Trading since 2009

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Kitchen extracts across Wokingham
Across Wokingham, from Reading, Woodley and Earley 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.
Wokingham is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in Wokingham.
Reading: If you run a café or takeaway near Reading West station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Coley Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Questions from Wokingham
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. 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 do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
