How we handle canopy cleaning in Sunningwell
We clean canopies in Sunningwell when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. We are often asked to deal with an EHO comment about the canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood, across plenum chambers, wall canopies and island canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Leave it or put it right?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Planning a trip to Sunningwell ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Canopy cleaning around Sunningwell
In Sunningwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Sunningwell is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Appleton Manor is about 3.2 miles west), access may need planning. A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 2.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Sunningwell Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a 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.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Somewhere like Sunningwell, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies

- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
