What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Canopy cleaning in Thornborough, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include poor capture at the hood and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, across wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Thornborough, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Thornborough: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Thornborough?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Thornborough doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Thornborough?
Fire safety enforcement in Thornborough is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Thornborough and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Grease, kitchens and Thornborough
Thornborough is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Thornborough are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stowe House is about 4.9 miles north-west), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Thornborough, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Thornborough Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
