About our canopy cleaning in Tubney
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. The work covers plenum chambers, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about poor capture at the hood and greasy streaks across the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Tubney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Tubney
At about 56 miles from central London, Tubney sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The fire and rescue service for Tubney is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
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 1.6 miles north), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Lawrence or anywhere around Tubney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common problems we fix in Tubney
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Grease filters blocking between washes
School kitchens, at schools like Abingdon Preparatory School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
FAQs for Tubney
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Tubney?
Fire safety enforcement in Tubney 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.
Can you work in Tubney outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Tubney can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for most canopies.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Tubney?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. 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. The work itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Tubney can be planned properly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
