What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Coldmoorholme can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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.

Canopy cleaning in Coldmoorholme
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you have grease filters blocking between washes and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Coldmoorholme starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Coldmoorholme questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Coldmoorholme out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Coldmoorholme, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Coldmoorholme?
Coldmoorholme is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
Is Coldmoorholme in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Coldmoorholme included.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Coldmoorholme
The FSA’s data shows about 16 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Coldmoorholme. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Coldmoorholme 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. Kitchens in Coldmoorholme get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. 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.
A hospital like Marlow Community Hospital, about 2.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark or elsewhere in Coldmoorholme, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
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.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
When it’s something else
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When to call us in Coldmoorholme
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
If you cook for passing trade around Bourne End station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
