Canopy and hood cleaning in Abshot, Hampshire
We cover Abshot for canopy and hood cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.
Canopy cleaning in Abshot, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation running down the canopy and a sticky, discoloured canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Abshot, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Abshot
Abshot lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Abshot and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Fire safety in Abshot falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John or anywhere around Abshot, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fareham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Abshot, about 1.7 miles north.
Abshot is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Abshot gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos.

Common questions in Abshot
Do you work in villages like Abshot?
Yes, Abshot is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Abshot?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Abshot than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
When do you clean the canopy?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
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.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Abshot
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
Part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Abshot?
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Locks Heath Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Abshot knowing what to expect.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
