Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Piddington
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with filters that never seem to stay clean and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and baffle filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. A planned visit to Piddington is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Piddington?
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
A hospital like Bicester Community Hospital, about 4.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

Piddington kitchens: local notes
At about 48 miles from central London, Piddington sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Piddington are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Historic houses near Piddington, such as Boarstall Tower about 2.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Piddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Piddington is about 5 miles south-east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. We provide canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Piddington and the rest of Oxfordshire.

Local landmarks in Piddington

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Piddington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Questions from Piddington
Can you come to Piddington after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Piddington keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Piddington?
Kitchens in Piddington are inspected by Cherwell 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.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
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 any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
