Kitchen extracts in Hedgerley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Hedgerley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Hedgerley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Hedgerley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hedgerley is Wexham Park Hospital, about 3 miles south-east. For schools such as Farnham Common Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hedgerley
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can help.
Work in a small place like Hedgerley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, 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.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hedgerley can be planned properly.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 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. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

What we are called out for in Hedgerley
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cliveden is about 3.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

FAQs for Hedgerley
Can school kitchens in Hedgerley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hedgerley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hedgerley?
Food hygiene inspections in Hedgerley are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Hedgerley?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work in Hedgerley?
Yes. We work in Hedgerley and across Slough, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Hedgerley
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
