Nash Lee: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Nash Lee?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nash Lee is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Nash Lee?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nash Lee. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nash Lee
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include filters that never seem to stay clean and condensation and grease dripping together, across canopy light fittings, grease gutters and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Nash Lee starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Canopy cleaning in Nash Lee: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nash Lee. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Nash Lee is Buckinghamshire 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 Nash Lee, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Colet School or anywhere near Nash Lee, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nash Lee is Stoke Mandeville Hospital, about 2.3 miles north.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Nash Lee, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Nash Lee
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
Part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When to call us in Nash Lee
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Nash Lee, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
