Managing agents and facilities teams in Clanfield
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Clanfield and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Canopy cleaning in Clanfield
We clean canopies in Clanfield when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. We are often asked to deal with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and canopy gutters full of old fat, on grease gutters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Clanfield, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Clanfield questions
Which fire authority looks after Clanfield?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Clanfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Clanfield is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before work begins.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Clanfield
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Clanfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. The fire and rescue service for Clanfield is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Clanfield. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Longworth Hospital is the nearest hospital to Clanfield, about 3.8 miles south. Where a hall near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Clanfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why deal with it now?
A canopy clean in Clanfield now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Somewhere as small as Clanfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Related advice
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Clanfield
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- An EHO comment about the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Clanfield CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
