Canopy Cleaning in Sutton-under-Brailes
We cover Sutton-under-Brailes for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation running down the canopy
How we handle canopy cleaning in Sutton-under-Brailes
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with poor capture at the hood and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, we can help, from island canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Sutton-under-Brailes, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos 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.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Sutton-under-Brailes
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Sutton-under-Brailes: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sutton-under-Brailes?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sutton-under-Brailes. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Sutton-under-Brailes?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sutton-under-Brailes included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that’s where grease hides.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sutton-under-Brailes
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Somewhere like Sutton-under-Brailes, 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 pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Sutton-under-Brailes
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sutton-under-Brailes is Ellen Badger Hospital, about 3.4 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before booking
