Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bentley
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke hanging around the canopy during service and an EHO comment about the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Bentley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Bentley
Can the work in Bentley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bentley?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bentley. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Canopy cleaning around Bentley
Kitchens in Bentley get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day.

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bentley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
When to call us in Bentley
Any canopy in Bentley that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bentley Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
