Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Clifton Hampden
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you are dealing with fat running down the front of the hood and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right, from island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Clifton Hampden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Planning a trip to Clifton Hampden ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
FAQs for Clifton Hampden
Can you come to Clifton Hampden after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Clifton Hampden can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Clifton Hampden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Clifton Hampden kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Clifton Hampden, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Food hygiene inspections in Clifton Hampden are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Clifton Hampden sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 0.1 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Clifton Hampden Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Clifton Hampden, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Never run the range with a filter out
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Clifton Hampden and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
