Canopy cleaning in New Marston, done properly
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: 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. If you are dealing with condensation running down the canopy and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can help, from baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like New Marston gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Marston
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a smaller place like New Marston, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Photo reports with every job
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your opening hours decide when we come to New Marston, not ours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What canopy cleaning looks like in New Marston
The Food Standards Agency lists about 88 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 12 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Marston. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. New Marston sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in New Marston get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near New Marston, such as Holywell Manor about 0.7 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When to call us in New Marston
However carefully a kitchen in New Marston is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Churchill Hospital is the nearest hospital to New Marston, about 0.7 miles east.

New Marston: your questions answered
Is New Marston within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Marston included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in New Marston?
Fire safety enforcement in New Marston 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.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
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. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
