Canopy cleaning in Long Hanborough, done properly
We clean canopies in Long Hanborough when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers grease gutters, island canopies and plenum chambers, and people most often call us about a hood coated in old grease and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
For a smaller kitchen near Long Hanborough, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
FAQs for Long Hanborough
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Long Hanborough?
Fire safety enforcement in Long Hanborough 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.
Can you work in Long Hanborough outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Your opening hours decide when we come to Long Hanborough, not ours.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the quote in Long Hanborough
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Grease, kitchens and Long Hanborough
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Long Hanborough. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Long Hanborough get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Long Hanborough falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For kitchens close to Combe station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Historic houses near Long Hanborough, such as Blenheim Palace about 1.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Common problems we fix in Long Hanborough
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Poor capture at the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Long Hanborough, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
