How we handle canopy cleaning in Cranbourne
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you are dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Cranbourne, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Cranbourne: your questions answered
Is Cranbourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Cranbourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne?
Kitchens in Cranbourne are inspected by Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your quote will give a time.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters

Common problems we fix in Cranbourne
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cranbourne (St Leonard's Hill is about 1.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. A planned visit to Cranbourne is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

Kitchen extracts in Cranbourne
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cranbourne. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Cranbourne falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Heatherwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cranbourne, about 2.8 miles south. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Cranbourne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Near you in Cranbourne
Around Cranbourne, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Fleur de Lis pub and Windsor Girls' School and the streets around them.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep the fan on through service
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.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
What affects the quote in Cranbourne
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Cranbourne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
