How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Canopy cleaning in North Moreton
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are an EHO comment about the canopy and condensation and grease dripping together.
In a small place like North Moreton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like North Moreton.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Canopy cleaning in North Moreton: the local picture
About 48 miles out from central London, North Moreton is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in North Moreton are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around North Moreton (Brightwell Manor is about 1.2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in North Moreton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
North Moreton is about 2 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX11, we can take on canopy cleaning. North Moreton is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for commercial clients. Our Oxford page covers sites nearby, about 10 miles away.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
FAQs for North Moreton
Which council inspects kitchens in North Moreton?
That is South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Moreton. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in North Moreton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before any work starts.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.

Common problems we fix in North Moreton
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. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as South Moreton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. It’s simpler to plan the work at North Moreton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in North Moreton and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
