How we handle canopy cleaning in Little Coxwell
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. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Little Coxwell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Little Coxwell and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Little Coxwell before we set off.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Leave it or put it right?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Little Coxwell is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Little Coxwell?
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Little Coxwell: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
What we are most often called out for:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Faringdon Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.

Little Coxwell questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Little Coxwell?
That’s Vale of White Horse council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Little Coxwell. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Coxwell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Little Coxwell included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
