How we handle canopy cleaning in Danesfield

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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and condensation running down the canopy, across wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers.

In a village or hamlet like Danesfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Danesfield

Can you get to a site in Danesfield?

Yes, Danesfield is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can you work in Danesfield outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

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’ll talk you through the next steps.

Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?

The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Who is the responsible person?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

What does canopy cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.

Are the filters cleaned too?

They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.

Different parts, different methods

Pub and hotel kitchens

In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.

Island canopies

An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.

Why deal with it now?

Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the visit works

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Danesfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
  2. Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
  3. With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
  4. The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
  5. Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Clear the space around the work

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • A dirty extract fan further along the system
  • Filters that no longer seal in the housing
  • Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Plenum chambers
  • Canopy light fittings
  • Grease gutters
  • Wall canopies
  • Baffle filters
  • Island canopies

Managing agents and facilities teams in Danesfield

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Danesfield kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels and B&Bs in and around Danesfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Danesfield. 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. The fire and rescue service for Danesfield 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.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Danesfield School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 0.6 miles south-east), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Danesfield, about 2.5 miles north-east.

Danesfield is about 2 miles south-west of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire.

What affects the quote in Danesfield

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • How big the system is
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

If you need canopy cleaning in Danesfield, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
