Canopy cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green
If the canopy in Weston-on-the-Green is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you have a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can put it right, from grease gutters, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Weston-on-the-Green, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
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 pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that 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 Weston-on-the-Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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 photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Keep the fan on through service
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Weston-on-the-Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green
Who inspects food businesses in Weston-on-the-Green?
In Weston-on-the-Green, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work at weekends in Weston-on-the-Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Weston-on-the-Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Why act early in Weston-on-the-Green
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Grease, kitchens and Weston-on-the-Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Weston-on-the-Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Weston-on-the-Green is covered by 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. In Weston-on-the-Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bicester Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Weston-on-the-Green, about 3.7 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Weston-on-the-Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
