Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Ashley, Hampshire
For canopy cleaning in Ashley, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
How we handle canopy cleaning in Ashley
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers grease gutters, wall canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are a hood coated in old grease and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Kitchens around a place like Ashley are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What a clean won’t put right
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Ashley
Will you come out to Ashley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Ashley?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Ashley gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashley
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Ashley
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
For schools such as Ashley Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Ashley, 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. Booking now means the visit to Ashley is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Trading since 2009
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Ashley
At about 2 miles from the coast, Ashley is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Ashley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ashley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 4.3 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Ashley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Ashley is about 4 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We provide canopy cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Ashley and the rest of Hampshire. Ashley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Southampton is in our area too, about 15 miles from Ashley.

We also cover New Milton (1 mile south-west), Hordle (1 mile east), Bashley (1 mile north-west), Tiptoe (1 mile north-east) and Barton on Sea (2 miles south-west).

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Ashley, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
