What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Yatt
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a filter housing caked in grease and drips from the canopy onto the range.
In a village or hamlet like New Yatt, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in New Yatt
Part by part
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.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
What we are called out for in New Yatt
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in New Yatt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Questions from New Yatt
Can you get to a site in New Yatt?
Yes. New Yatt is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for New Yatt?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers New Yatt. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to New Yatt and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Grease, kitchens and New Yatt
Look up New Yatt on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Yatt. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in New Yatt. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. New Yatt sits within the area of 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.
For schools such as North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 3.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
