Canopy Cleaning in Sunnymeads
Canopy cleaning for Sunnymeads, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease channels that no longer drain
How it works
On the day, we arrive 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 before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sunnymeads.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

About our canopy cleaning in Sunnymeads
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers grease gutters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the front of the hood and canopy gutters full of old fat.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Canopy cleaning around Sunnymeads
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sunnymeads. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Sunnymeads is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Sunnymeads are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near SS Peter and Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Sunnymeads, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Wraysbury Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 we start.

Common questions in Sunnymeads
Can you work in Sunnymeads outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Sunnymeads doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sunnymeads?
Sunnymeads is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When to call us in Sunnymeads
However carefully a kitchen in Sunnymeads is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sunnymeads is King Edward VII Hospital, about 2.4 miles west.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
