Canopy cleaning in Newyears Green, done properly
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. Common call-outs are for a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, on grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a small place like Newyears Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Newyears Green and 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: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. A planned visit to Newyears Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Newyears Green
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Poor capture at the hood
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A hood coated in old grease
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ickenham Hall is about 1.5 miles south-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
FAQs for Newyears Green
Can you come to Newyears Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Newyears Green keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Newyears Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Newyears Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long is a canopy clean?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. We’ll tell you what to expect.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newyears Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
