Canopy and hood cleaning in Boveney, Windsor and Maidenhead
One call covers canopy cleaning in Boveney: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A hood coated in old grease
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Windsor and Maidenhead. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Canopy cleaning in Boveney
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and condensation and grease dripping together, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Boveney, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Somewhere as small as Boveney, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.

Canopy cleaning around Boveney
There are about 41 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boveney, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Boveney is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Boveney. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Boveney is King Edward VII Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Boveney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Boveney is about 1 mile north-west of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Boveney
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Boveney (Dorney Court is about 1.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Boveney questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Boveney?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Boveney. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boveney?
Kitchens in Boveney are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Boveney, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
