- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for most canopies. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Eton.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Canopy cleaning in Eton
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. If you are dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and grease channels that no longer drain, we can put it right.
In a small place like Eton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Eton
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Eton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

FAQs for Eton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Eton?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eton. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Eton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Eton does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.
Do you cover Eton?
Yes. We cover Eton and across Windsor and Maidenhead, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
What we’re called out for in Eton
Any canopy in Eton that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Saint John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Eton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Eton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 38 pubs, bars and clubs and about 15 hotels and B&Bs in and around Eton, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Eton, 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Eton is covered by 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.
A hospital like Upton Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Commuter trade near Windsor & Eton Riverside station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What affects the quote in Eton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
