Canopy cleaning in Ashley Heath, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with an EHO comment about the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can put it right, from grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
In a smaller place like Ashley Heath, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Ashley Heath
Fire safety in Ashley Heath falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Ashley Heath. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in Ashley Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ashley Heath
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. A site near Ashley Heath that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Ashley Heath
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ashley Heath, about 1.6 miles south-west.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Ashley Heath, so let us know how to reach it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed 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, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
FAQs for Ashley Heath
Do you work at weekends in Ashley Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ashley Heath keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashley Heath?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ashley Heath is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA 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.
