Canopy cleaning in Brize Norton
For canopies and hoods in Brize Norton, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. We’re often asked to deal with a sticky, discoloured canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, across plenum chambers, island canopies and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Brize Norton, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. With notice, the visit to Brize Norton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Brize Norton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brize Norton?
Brize Norton is in the area of 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.
Do you work in villages like Brize Norton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brize Norton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Grease, kitchens and Brize Norton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brize Norton. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Brize Norton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Brize Norton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Brize Norton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Minster Lovell Hall, about 2.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Brize Norton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Britius, or anywhere in Brize Norton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Brize Norton is about 1 mile east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Sites in Brize Norton get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, and Brize Norton is one of them. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 14 miles away.
Canopy cleaning in OX18 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need canopy cleaning at premises on Station Road, Daubigny Mead and Moat Close or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Brize Norton: Carterton (1 mile west), Curbridge (2 miles east), Black Bourton (2 miles south-west), Minster Lovell (2 miles north) and Bampton (3 miles south).

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
Part by part
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brize Norton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
