Canopy cleaning in Ampfield
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for condensation and grease dripping together and a sticky, discoloured canopy, across grease gutters, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Ampfield, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Grease, kitchens and Ampfield
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Ampfield. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Ampfield get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Ampfield is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Ampfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Ampfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Ampfield is about 2 miles north-west of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO51, we cover canopy cleaning for commercial sites. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Ampfield among them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (6 miles or so).
We work across SO51 for canopy cleaning and the streets around it. That includes premises on Morleys Green, Green Pond Lane and Lower Farm Lane and the roads around them. Ampfield sits on or near the A3090, which makes travel easy for evening and night visits. We also cover the places around Ampfield: Gosport (1 mile south-west), Knapp (1 mile north-east), Broadgate (1 mile east), Crampmoor (1 mile west) and Lower Slackstead (1 mile north). Further out, we also cover Winchester (6 miles north-east), Eastleigh (5 miles south-east), Fareham (15 miles south-east), Andover (14 miles north), Totton (7 miles south-west) and Hedge End (8 miles south-east).
What’s near Ampfield
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Mountbatten School and White Horse Public House, among other places. Ampfield’s nearest station is Chandlers Ford station, roughly 2.5 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are King Johns House (3.3 miles west) and Romsey Community Hospital (2.5 miles south-west). Not far away are Emer Bog and Baddesley Common.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ampfield.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why deal with it now?
A canopy clean in Ampfield now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. In a small place like Ampfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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.

Questions from Ampfield
Can you work in Ampfield outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ampfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ampfield?
In Ampfield, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in Ampfield?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Ampfield included.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What affects the quote in Ampfield
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ampfield
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
