About our canopy cleaning in Greenham
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you are dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Greenham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Greenham
Can you work in Greenham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire service covers Greenham?
Fire safety enforcement in Greenham is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in Greenham?
Yes. We cover Greenham and across West Berkshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Greenham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Greenham
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What we’re called out for in Greenham
Any canopy in Greenham that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Poor capture at the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Greenham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured

What canopy cleaning looks like in Greenham
There are about 80 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Greenham, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Greenham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Greenham sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Berkshire Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Greenham, about 1.5 miles north-east.
