- A hood coated in old grease
Common problems we fix in Church Enstone
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Kenelm, or anywhere in Church Enstone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
About our canopy cleaning in Church Enstone
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are a hood coated in old grease and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
Somewhere as small as Church Enstone, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Church Enstone
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Church Enstone, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
FAQs for Church Enstone
Do you work overnight in Church Enstone?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Church Enstone?
Yes, Church Enstone is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does TR19 mean?
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 we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
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.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies

Church Enstone kitchens: local notes
Church Enstone sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Church Enstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Enstone Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
What happens if it’s left?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
