- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Canopy cleaning in Bure Park
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and people most often call us about wet, greasy drips from the hood and greasy streaks across the canopy.
For a smaller kitchen near Bure Park, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Part by part
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Bure Park: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Bure Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Bure Park are carried out by Cherwell council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Bure Park out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Bure Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
When do you clean the canopy?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.

What else we do in Bure Park
Do you need canopy cleaning in Bure Park?
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Emmanuel Church Bicester or elsewhere in Bure Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a smaller place like Bure Park, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Bure Park

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Bure Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Bure Park. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you cook for passing trade around Bicester North station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bure Park Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Other landmarks nearby include Bicester Village (1.3 miles south) and Bicester Community Hospital (1 mile south). For a walk, there’s Graven Hill and Woodsides Meadow.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
