Canopy and hood cleaning in Newnham Murren, Oxfordshire
For deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out in Newnham Murren, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Canopy cleaning in Newnham Murren, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with filters that never seem to stay clean and poor capture at the hood, we can help.
Work in a small place like Newnham Murren starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Newnham Murren
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newnham Murren?
Kitchens in Newnham Murren are inspected by South Oxfordshire 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.
Can school kitchens in Newnham Murren be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Newnham Murren, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Newnham Murren.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
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, before any work starts.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Newnham Murren
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Historic houses near Newnham Murren, such as Brightwell Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Newnham Murren and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Canopy cleaning in Newnham Murren: the local picture
Look up Newnham Murren on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 22 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Newnham Murren. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Kitchens in Newnham Murren get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. 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. Newnham Murren is covered by 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Newnham Murren, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newnham Murren
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. In a small place like Newnham Murren, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
