About our canopy cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can put it right, from island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
In a small place like Horton-cum-Studley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself 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 Horton-cum-Studley, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

What else we do in Horton-cum-Studley
Do you need canopy cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley?
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A hood coated in old grease
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Horton-cum-Studley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- 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
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures 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
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Questions from Horton-cum-Studley
Do you work in villages like Horton-cum-Studley?
Yes, Horton-cum-Studley is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Horton-cum-Studley?
Horton-cum-Studley is in the area of 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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Horton-cum-Studley
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Bent or broken filters
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies

Why it’s worth doing now in Horton-cum-Studley
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Horton-cum-Studley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
