What canopy cleaning looks like in Brookhampton
Food hygiene inspections in Brookhampton are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Brookhampton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Stadhampton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Brookhampton, such as Garsington Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Brookhampton
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease filters blocking between washes and a sticky, discoloured canopy, across island canopies, wall canopies and baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Brookhampton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Brookhampton: your questions answered
Is Brookhampton within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brookhampton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Brookhampton?
Kitchens in Brookhampton are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Brookhampton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
Common problems we fix in Brookhampton
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
A hospital like Littlemore Hospital, about 4.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What else we do in Brookhampton
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Brookhampton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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 photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
