How we handle canopy cleaning in Bedgrove
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have smoke hanging around the canopy during service and a filter housing caked in grease, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Bedgrove, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Bedgrove
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bedgrove. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Bedgrove. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Bedgrove are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital about 0.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Bedgrove Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Common problems we fix in Bedgrove
Grease does not build up any differently in Bedgrove: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Condensation running down the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Spirit or anywhere around Bedgrove, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We plan the journey to Bedgrove and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Bedgrove
Do you work in villages like Bedgrove?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bedgrove included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Bedgrove be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bedgrove needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
