Ashlett canopy cleaning
Specialist canopy cleaning for Ashlett: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Ashlett, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Canopy cleaning in Ashlett, done properly
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you’re dealing with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can put it right, from island canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters onwards.
In a small place like Ashlett, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A light fitting that does not work
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Ashlett
Can you get to a site in Ashlett?
Yes. Ashlett is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ashlett?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ashlett. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
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 types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are the filters cleaned too?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Ashlett, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ashlett affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

What canopy cleaning looks like in Ashlett
Ashlett lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Ashlett sits within the area of 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ashlett. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Coldeast is the nearest hospital to Ashlett, about 4 miles north-east.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Ashlett
Grease does not build up any differently in Ashlett: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Condensation running down the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Ashlett, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
