Canopy Cleaning in Great Haseley
Canopy cleaning for Great Haseley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Great Haseley now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Great Haseley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Canopy cleaning in Great Haseley, done properly
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for greasy streaks across the canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Great Haseley
Food hygiene inspections in Great Haseley are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. At about 45 miles from central London, Great Haseley sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens, at schools like Great Milton Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Thame Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Great Haseley is about 5 miles south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Great Haseley, we can take on canopy cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list, large and small. We also work in Oxford, about 7 miles from Great Haseley.
We cover every part of the OX44 postcode area for canopy cleaning and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Rectory Road, Horse Close Cottages and Back Way or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Great Haseley: Great Milton (1 mile north-west), Milton Common (1 mile north-east), Tiddington (2 miles north), Albury (2 miles north-east) and Draycott (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (7 miles west), Didcot (10 miles south-west), Bicester (14 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (9 miles west), Thame (5 miles north-east) and Henley-on-Thames (14 miles south-east).
Near you in Great Haseley

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Great Haseley run smoothly.
- The canopy is checked from pictures 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Great Haseley: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Great Haseley?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Great Haseley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Great Haseley?
In Great Haseley, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What we are called out for in Great Haseley
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Great Haseley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
