How we handle canopy cleaning in Priestwood
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. Typical jobs include a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and a sticky, discoloured canopy, on wall canopies, baffle filters and grease gutters.
In a smaller place like Priestwood, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Priestwood
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Honest limits
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A light fitting that does not work
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep the fan on through service
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a smaller place like Priestwood, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Priestwood
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?

Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Why act early in Priestwood
A canopy clean in Priestwood now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. When a site near Priestwood shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
