How we handle canopy cleaning in Maiden's Green
If the canopy in Maiden's Green is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with canopy gutters full of old fat and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Maiden's Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Maiden's Green can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What affects the quote in Maiden's Green
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Maiden's Green questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Maiden's Green?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Maiden's Green?
The local authority for Maiden's Green is Bracknell Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Do you work in Maiden's Green?
Yes. Maiden's Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Grease, kitchens and Maiden's Green
Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Maiden's Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. About 27 miles out from central London, Maiden's Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Maiden's Green (St Leonard's Hill is about 3 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Maiden's Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Maiden's Green
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Leave it or put it right?
In Maiden's Green, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. In a small place like Maiden's Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
