Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broughton
We clean canopies in Broughton when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and fat running down the front of the hood.
Somewhere as small as Broughton, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broughton
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
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.
Questions from Broughton
Will you come out to Broughton?
Yes, Broughton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broughton?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Broughton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We’ll tell you what to expect.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere like Broughton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Other services in Broughton
Canopy cleaning in Broughton: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Broughton. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Broughton is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Broughton get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Broughton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Broughton Castle is about 0.3 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horton General Hospital (about 2.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. If you need canopy cleaning in Broughton, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Our area covers London and the South East, Broughton included. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, Broughton among them. Oxford is in our area too, about 21 miles from Broughton.
Postcode districts we cover here for canopy cleaning: OX15. Streets in the area include Danvers Close, Danvers Road and Wykham Lane, and we cover them all for canopy cleaning. If your site is just outside Broughton, we cover North Newington (1 mile north), Neithrop (2 miles north-east), Ruscote (2 miles north-east), Bloxham (2 miles south) and Drayton (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Bicester (14 miles south-east), Bure Park (13 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (10 miles south-west), Grimsbury (3 miles north-east), Woodstock (14 miles south) and Bodicote (3 miles east).
What’s near Broughton
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Roebuck Public House, The Warriner School and Tudor Hall School, among other places. The closest station to Broughton is Banbury station, roughly 2.7 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Bloxham Village Museum (1.8 miles south) and Castle Quay Shopping Centre (2.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Crouch Hill and Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.
Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
