Our canopy cleaning service in Hampshire

If the canopy in Hampshire is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are a hood coated in old grease and a filter housing caked in grease.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.

  1. We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
  2. The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
  3. Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
  4. Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
  5. Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.

What affects the price in Hampshire

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, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How to get a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Local landmarks in Basingstoke

Typical jobs here are in premises near King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, Cranbourne and Eastrop Park. Also close by are The Rising Sun pub (0.5 miles north-east), St Michael's Church (0.5 miles east) and The Costello School (1 mile east). For rail, the closest station is Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Basing House (2.2 miles east) and The Malls (0.6 miles east). For a walk, there’s Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.

Where we work in Hampshire

Across Hampshire, from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Along the coast in Hampshire, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

Basingstoke: For kitchens close to Basingstoke station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael's Church, or anywhere in Basingstoke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Leave it or put it right?

Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it.

Aftercare tips

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
  • Keep every filter in place while cooking
  • Clean the baffle filters often
  • Refit filters the right way round and fully seated

The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.

A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • How big the system is
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • A single visit or a regular plan

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Problems your staff have spotted

Want a quote for canopy cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.

Common problems we fix in Hampshire

Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • A hood coated in old grease
  • Canopy gutters full of old fat
  • A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
  • Fat running down the front of the hood

FAQs for Hampshire

What is TR19?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

How long does canopy cleaning take?

That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for most canopies.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.

Why is my canopy dripping grease?

Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.

What does canopy cleaning cost?

We do not 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 work begins.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
