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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Canopy cleaning in Moulsford, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are a hood coated in old grease and canopy gutters full of old fat.
For a kitchen in or near Moulsford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Moulsford
A canopy in Moulsford picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Poor capture at the hood
For schools such as Cranford House School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included

Questions from Moulsford
Which fire authority looks after Moulsford?
Fire safety enforcement in Moulsford is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Moulsford within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Moulsford included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- 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, before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Moulsford

Canopy cleaning around Moulsford
In Moulsford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. About 46 miles out from central London, Moulsford is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Moulsford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Moulsford, such as Basildon Park about 3.9 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Moulsford
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. If the system at a site near Moulsford fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Moulsford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
