Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eton Wick
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and grease gutters, and people most often call us about a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and condensation running down the canopy.
Work in a small place like Eton Wick starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Eton Wick?
A canopy in Eton Wick picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Dorney Court, about 1.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Eton Wick; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Eton Wick
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Grease, kitchens and Eton Wick
Food Standards Agency data counts about 50 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Eton Wick, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. The fire and rescue service for Eton Wick is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Eton Wick, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Saint John the Baptist or elsewhere in Eton Wick, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as King Edward VII Hospital (about 1.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere like Eton Wick, 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
When it’s something else
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Eton Wick and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
FAQs for Eton Wick
Can you get to a site in Eton Wick?
Yes, Eton Wick 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 clean school kitchen extracts in Eton Wick during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 42 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Eton Wick. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
