Allbrook canopy cleaning

- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Everything the job in Allbrook needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Kitchen extracts in Allbrook
The FSA’s data shows about 25 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Allbrook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Allbrook is 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. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Allbrook. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Scantabout Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Allbrook, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Allbrook
Can a school canteen extract in Allbrook be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Allbrook. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Allbrook?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Allbrook is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Common problems we fix in Allbrook
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Poor capture at the hood
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 3.7 miles south), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Why it’s worth doing now in Allbrook
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. A site near Allbrook that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Bent or broken filters
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
