Questions from Britwell Salome
Can you come to Britwell Salome after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Britwell Salome needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Britwell Salome?
Fire safety enforcement in Britwell Salome is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that is where grease hides.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Canopy cleaning in Britwell Salome
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Typical jobs include wet, greasy drips from the hood and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, across island canopies, canopy light fittings and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Britwell Salome starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For canopy cleaning in Britwell Salome, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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, alongside our reports.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Britwell Salome.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we’re called out for in Britwell Salome
A canopy in Britwell Salome picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Britwell Salome, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
