Canopy cleaning in Stubbings
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and a sticky, discoloured canopy, on wall canopies, grease gutters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Stubbings, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Questions from Stubbings
Can school kitchens in Stubbings be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 17 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stubbings. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work overnight in Stubbings?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Stubbings can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Stubbings?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
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 because that’s often the dirtiest part.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Stubbings?
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Harleyford Manor, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Stubbings; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What affects the quote in Stubbings
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Stubbings, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stubbings run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Stubbings
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stubbings. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Stubbings. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stubbings. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 1.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. James the Less or elsewhere in Stubbings, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
