Canopy cleaning in Moulsoe
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy edge and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
For a kitchen in or near Moulsoe, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Common problems we fix in Moulsoe
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A hood coated in old grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Moulsoe is Milton Keynes University Hospital, about 3.7 miles south-west.

Moulsoe: your questions answered
Can the work in Moulsoe be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Moulsoe doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Moulsoe?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Moulsoe included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
What do you need from me for a quote?
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.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For canopy cleaning in Moulsoe, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Moulsoe, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Moulsoe and across Milton Keynes. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A light fitting that does not work
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Moulsoe, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. If the system at a site near Moulsoe fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- We are fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
