Canopy cleaning in Over Norton, done properly
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about smoke hanging around the canopy during service and filters that never seem to stay clean.
Work in a small place like Over Norton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Leave it or put it right?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. It’s simpler to plan the work at Over Norton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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 so you know the cost before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Over Norton

Look out for any of the following:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that never seem to stay clean

What canopy cleaning looks like in Over Norton
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs across Over Norton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Over Norton falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Over Norton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.1 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St James or elsewhere in Over Norton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Over Norton run smoothly.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Over Norton
Who inspects food businesses in Over Norton?
Kitchens in Over Norton are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you come out to Over Norton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Over Norton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
