Canopy cleaning in Broomhall, done properly
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and canopy gutters full of old fat, across grease gutters, wall canopies and baffle filters.
In a smaller place like Broomhall, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Broomhall
Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broomhall. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broomhall. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Broomhall is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Broomhall, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sunningdale School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Broomhall can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare

Advice
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
FAQs for Broomhall
Can a school canteen extract in Broomhall be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broomhall. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Broomhall after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
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. A site near Broomhall that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

What else we do in Broomhall
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
