Questions from Dedworth
Which fire authority looks after Dedworth?
Dedworth is in the area of Royal Berkshire 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 the work in Dedworth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Dedworth can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you cover Dedworth?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Dedworth included.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Dedworth
If the canopy in Dedworth is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers canopy light fittings, island canopies and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and grease dripping from the canopy edge.
Around a smaller place like Dedworth, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Dedworth kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 120 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 18 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Dedworth. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Dedworth is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Dedworth are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Dedworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; King Edward VII Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dedworth, about 1.5 miles east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 0.6 miles south), access may need planning.
Dedworth is about 1 mile west of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Whether your site is in the middle of Dedworth or further out, we cover canopy cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Dedworth is one of 57 towns, villages and districts in Windsor and Maidenhead where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Reading, around 14 miles away.
Every address in SL4 is covered for canopy cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Windsor and Maidenhead. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Never run the range with a filter out
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Dedworth can usually be finished without a second trip.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps 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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
