About our canopy cleaning in Longworth
We clean canopies in Longworth when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you’re dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and a hood coated in old grease, we can help, from island canopies, canopy light fittings and baffle filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Longworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Longworth
A canopy in Longworth picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A hood coated in old grease
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Longworth House is about 0.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Longworth
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. If the system at a site near Longworth fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Longworth
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 the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Longworth and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Longworth: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Longworth?
Kitchens in Longworth are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Longworth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Longworth included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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 typically reply within one working day.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Grease, kitchens and Longworth
Look up Longworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Longworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Longworth. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Longworth are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Longworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Longworth Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
