What we are called out for in Shellingford
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Shellingford: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Poor capture at the hood
For schools such as Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shellingford
If the canopy in Shellingford is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are heavy deposits behind the grease filters and poor capture at the hood.
Somewhere as small as Shellingford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Shellingford: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shellingford?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Shellingford outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Shellingford
It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shellingford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Shellingford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Longworth Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Faith or elsewhere in Shellingford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What’s near Shellingford

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Shellingford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- 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.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shellingford
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
