Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Canopy cleaning in Poffley End, done properly
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is normally in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. We’re often asked to deal with greasy streaks across the canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on wall canopies, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
For a kitchen in or near Poffley End, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Poffley End questions
Will you come out to Poffley End?
Yes. Poffley End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Poffley End?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Poffley End. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before we start.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Poffley End now saves a bigger job later. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. If the system at a site near Poffley End fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Poffley End can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A light fitting that does not work
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Poffley End
Any canopy in Poffley End that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hailey Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and Poffley End
Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Poffley End. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Poffley End. 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. The fire and rescue service for Poffley End is 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 John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Poffley End, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Minster Lovell Hall, about 2.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Poffley End; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
