What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hurley
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and poor capture at the hood.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hurley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep the fan on through 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.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Canopy cleaning around Hurley
The FSA’s data shows about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Hurley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Hurley falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Hurley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Danesfield School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hurley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Hurley
Can you work in Hurley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in Hurley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hurley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hurley
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 0.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
