Canopy cleaning across Oxfordshire: what to expect

Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about greasy streaks across the canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.

We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
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.

How we quote

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Where we work in Oxfordshire

In Oxfordshire, we work in places such as Oxford, Banbury and Didcot and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Oxfordshire, 443 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in Oxfordshire and beyond.

Oxford: If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Holywell Manor is about 0.8 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Clement's Church or anywhere around Oxford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Leave it or put it right?

A canopy clean in Oxfordshire now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the system working properly between visits:

Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
Keep every filter in place while cooking
Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
Keep the fan on through service

We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.

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.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
A light fitting that doesn’t work

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

What state the system is in
The times the site is available
Travel, parking and unloading
The scale of the work

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Any previous report or certificate

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 so you know the cost before any work starts.

FAQs for Oxfordshire

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

How much of the canopy do you clean?

The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

How much notice do you need?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

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. Cleaning removes the cause.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: 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.
