Canopy cleaning around Oakley Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways across Oakley Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Oakley Green is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Oakley Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Alexander First School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Oakley Green, such as St Leonard's Hill about 1 mile south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like King Edward VII Hospital, about 2.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Oakley Green
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you have heavy deposits behind the grease filters and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can help, from baffle filters, plenum chambers and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Oakley Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Oakley Green.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Oakley Green
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Common questions in Oakley Green
Can a school canteen extract in Oakley Green be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Oakley Green. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Oakley Green?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Oakley Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens to the filters during the 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 you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Oakley Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Planning a trip to Oakley Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
