Oxfordshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Stonor canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stonor. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters

- Poor capture at the hood
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stonor
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you are dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right, from grease gutters, plenum chambers and island canopies onwards.
Somewhere as small as Stonor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Stonor
About 37 miles out from central London, Stonor is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stonor. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stonor Park is about 0.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Common questions in Stonor
Do you work in villages like Stonor?
Yes, Stonor is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stonor?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stonor. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that is where grease hides.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stonor.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Why deal with it now?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. With notice, the visit to Stonor can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Stonor?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Pishill Church or elsewhere in Stonor, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
