Why deal with it now?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. It’s simpler to plan the work at Granborough now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Granborough
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and condensation running down the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Granborough, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Granborough
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Granborough, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common questions in Granborough
Can the work in Granborough be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Granborough needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Granborough?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Granborough. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you work in Granborough?
Yes. Granborough is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Grease, kitchens and Granborough
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways across Granborough and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. The fire and rescue service for Granborough is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Granborough get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Claydon House, about 2.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Granborough; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sir Thomas Fremantle School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Granborough
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Granborough, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
