How we handle canopy cleaning in Lyneham
For canopies and hoods in Lyneham, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. If you have grease dripping from the canopy edge and a filter housing caked in grease, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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 we’re called out for in Lyneham
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Poor capture at the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Every clean in and around Lyneham is signed off with a certificate and before-and-after photos.

How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

Common questions in Lyneham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lyneham?
In Lyneham, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Lyneham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lyneham can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Lyneham in your area?
Yes. Lyneham is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Lyneham?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
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.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Kitchen extracts in Lyneham
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Lyneham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Fire safety in Lyneham falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Lyneham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For kitchens in and around Lyneham, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lyneham.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lyneham
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lyneham is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
