Canopy cleaning in Shipton-under-Wychwood
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are often asked to deal with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and greasy streaks across the canopy, on plenum chambers, island canopies and grease gutters.
Somewhere as small as Shipton-under-Wychwood, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shipton-under-Wychwood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Common problems we fix in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Shipton-under-Wychwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.

FAQs for Shipton-under-Wychwood
Will you come out to Shipton-under-Wychwood?
Yes. Shipton-under-Wychwood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Shipton-under-Wychwood?
Fire safety enforcement in Shipton-under-Wychwood is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
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.
