How we handle canopy cleaning in Amport
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are smoke hanging around the canopy during service and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters.
Work in a small place like Amport starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Amport
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. 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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Amport.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- 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.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What we are called out for in Amport
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation running down the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Amport, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Common questions in Amport
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Amport?
Fire safety enforcement in Amport is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Amport?
The local authority for Amport is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
What affects the quote in Amport
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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 we start.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Keep the fan on through service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Canopy cleaning around Amport
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Amport. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Amport is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 3.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
