About our canopy cleaning in Hanworth
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. If you have grease dripping from the canopy edge and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help.
Around a smaller place like Hanworth, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we’re called out for in Hanworth
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Pinewood Hospital (about 1.5 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How we price canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Common questions in Hanworth
Can you get to a site in Hanworth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hanworth included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hanworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Hanworth are carried out by Bracknell Forest council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How the visit works
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. Tell us when your site near Hanworth is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- 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.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
If you need canopy cleaning in Hanworth, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
What else we do in Hanworth
Why deal with it now?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Read our cost guide and our accreditations and certificates.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Hanworth kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Hanworth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hanworth 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. In Hanworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as The Pines School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Hanworth, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
