Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hamstead Marshall
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you’re dealing with condensation and grease dripping together and a hood coated in old grease, we can put it right.
In a small place like Hamstead Marshall, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in Hamstead Marshall
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Benham Park, about 2.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Hamstead Marshall; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Bent or broken filters
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hamstead Marshall now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Hamstead Marshall
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hamstead Marshall?
Hamstead Marshall is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Hamstead Marshall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your quote will give a time.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
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 happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Hamstead Marshall, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
