What happens on the day
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In a small place like Winkfield Row, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Canopy cleaning in Winkfield Row, done properly
If the canopy in Winkfield Row is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for canopy gutters full of old fat and an EHO comment about the canopy, across baffle filters, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That’s a lot of grease on the canopy, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Questions from Winkfield Row
Is Winkfield Row within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Winkfield Row is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Winkfield Row?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Grease, kitchens and Winkfield Row
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Winkfield Row, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Winkfield Row is covered by Royal Berkshire 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 Winkfield Row are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
