Canopy cleaning in Great Rollright, done properly
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include grease channels that no longer drain and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, on canopy light fittings, baffle filters and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Great Rollright, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Great Rollright run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Great Rollright
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Poor capture at the hood
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.9 miles west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Rollright

Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. In a place like Great Rollright, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Great Rollright is covered by 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. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Rollright. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Great Rollright, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Great Rollright
Can you get to a site in Great Rollright?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Rollright is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Great Rollright?
Fire safety enforcement in Great Rollright is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are the filters cleaned too?
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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What affects the quote in Great Rollright
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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 we start.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
