About our canopy cleaning in Chaddleworth
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with fat running down the front of the hood and a filter housing caked in grease, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Grease, kitchens and Chaddleworth
It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chaddleworth. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Chaddleworth. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Chaddleworth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chaddleworth St Andrew's C.E. Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Chaddleworth: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Chaddleworth?
Chaddleworth is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Chaddleworth outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Chaddleworth keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Chaddleworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Leave it or put it right?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. If the system at a site near Chaddleworth fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- One number for every site across the South East and London
