Canopy cleaning in Shottesbrooke
For canopies and hoods in Shottesbrooke, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after photos go into your report. The work covers wall canopies, plenum chambers and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy deposits behind the grease filters and grease channels that no longer drain.
Somewhere as small as Shottesbrooke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Shottesbrooke: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Shottesbrooke?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Shottesbrooke needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Shottesbrooke?
Kitchens in Shottesbrooke are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is Shottesbrooke in your area?
Yes. Shottesbrooke is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long is a canopy clean?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The whole canopy, inside and out. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that’s where grease hides.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Shottesbrooke?
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.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 3.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Shottesbrooke
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Shottesbrooke, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shottesbrooke. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Shottesbrooke is 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.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Shottesbrooke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Shottesbrooke, such as Harleyford Manor about 4.7 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shottesbrooke
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Shottesbrooke.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
