What canopy cleaning looks like in Cumnor
Cumnor sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Cumnor get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Cumnor Church of England School (Voluntary Controlled) for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Radcliffe Infirmary (about 3.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Cumnor now stops the grease spreading further. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Cumnor?
A canopy in Cumnor picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Cumnor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cumnor, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Common questions in Cumnor
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cumnor?
Kitchens in Cumnor are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cumnor?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep the fan on through service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
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.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
