Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Duns Tew
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is usually in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. The work covers canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and island canopies, and people most often call us about a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and condensation running down the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Duns Tew, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why act early in Duns Tew
For a kitchen in Duns Tew, 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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchens in Duns Tew get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Duns Tew, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. In and around Duns Tew, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Duns Tew
Which fire service covers Duns Tew?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Duns Tew?
That is Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Duns Tew. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
