Canopy cleaning in Myrke
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have condensation running down the canopy and a hood coated in old grease, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Myrke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Myrke knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

FAQs for Myrke
Which fire authority looks after Myrke?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Myrke. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Myrke?
Kitchens in Myrke are inspected by Slough council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Myrke
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Myrke now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Myrke now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Trading since 2009
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Myrke and across Slough. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Canopy cleaning around Myrke
Food Standards Agency data counts about 115 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 56 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Myrke. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Fire safety in Myrke falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Myrke, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Slough council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Laurence, or anywhere in Myrke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Myrke is Upton Hospital, about 0.5 miles north.
