Canopy Cleaning in Deddington
Canopy cleaning in Deddington from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Filters that never seem to stay clean

- Fat running down the front of the hood
When to call us in Deddington
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Deddington Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance

Deddington questions
Will you come out to Deddington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Deddington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Deddington?
In Deddington, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.

What else we do in Deddington
How we price canopy cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For canopy cleaning in Deddington, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Canopy cleaning around Deddington
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Deddington, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Deddington is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Deddington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Broughton Castle is about 5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Deddington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Deddington
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Deddington and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Deddington, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. In a small place like Deddington, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Deddington.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
