What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Island canopies

How we handle canopy cleaning in Langley Common
We clean canopies in Langley Common when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a hood coated in old grease and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
For a kitchen in or near Langley Common, 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 dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Langley Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Langley Common
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. 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 every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Trading since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Langley Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Langley Common is 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.

Langley Common: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Langley Common?
That is Wokingham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Langley Common. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Langley Common after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep the fan on through service
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
