What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Canopy cleaning in Boyn Hill
If the canopy in Boyn Hill is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with wet, greasy drips from the hood and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can put it right, from baffle filters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Boyn Hill gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Boyn Hill during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 34 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Boyn Hill. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover Boyn Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Boyn Hill included.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How long is a canopy clean?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Boyn Hill?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Dorney Court is about 3.1 miles east), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Around Boyn Hill, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Boyn Hill
There are about 94 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Boyn Hill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Food hygiene inspections in Boyn Hill are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Boyn Hill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 1 mile north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Boyn Hill needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
