- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
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.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Canopy cleaning in Kiln Green
Every canopy we clean in Kiln Green gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about condensation running down the canopy and an EHO comment about the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Kiln Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Kiln Green, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Kitchen extracts in Kiln Green
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kiln Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kiln Green 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. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kiln Green. 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.
For schools such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Peter or elsewhere in Kiln Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Harleyford Manor, about 3.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Kiln Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

How it works

- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
