How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Farnham Royal
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that clog soon after cleaning and condensation running down the canopy.
Work in a small place like Farnham Royal starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Farnham Royal
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Farnham Royal, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Farnham Royal. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Farnham Royal, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Farnham Royal, such as Cliveden about 3.3 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Farnham Royal CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wexham Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to Farnham Royal, about 1.8 miles east.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Farnham Royal now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours for most canopies, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. In a place like Farnham Royal, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 will go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When something else is needed
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)
- Bent or broken filters
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Farnham Royal
Can you get to a site in Farnham Royal?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Farnham Royal included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Farnham Royal after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Farnham Royal keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You will know before we start.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Clean the baffle filters often
- 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.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
The process
We turn up 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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In a small place like Farnham Royal, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
