Canopy cleaning in Chesham Bois, done properly
For canopies and hoods in Chesham Bois, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that clog soon after cleaning and a filter housing caked in grease.
Around a smaller place like Chesham Bois, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Chesham Bois: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Chesham Bois?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chesham Bois. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Chesham Bois?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Chesham Bois can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies

How we price canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
A canopy clean in Chesham Bois now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Chesham Bois kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Chesham Bois. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Chesham Bois is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Chesham Bois, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amersham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Chesham Bois, about 1.7 miles south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Chesham Bois, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Commuter trade near Amersham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Chesham Bois when you book.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
