About our canopy cleaning in Bashley
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and grease gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are an EHO comment about the canopy and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters.
Work in a small place like Bashley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
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. Cleaning it removes that fuel. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bashley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bashley
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
FAQs for Bashley
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bashley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can a school canteen extract in Bashley be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bashley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Kitchen extracts in Bashley
Sea air reaches Bashley, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bashley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Bashley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ballard School or anywhere near Bashley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Highcliffe Castle is about 3.5 miles south-west), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John, or anywhere in Bashley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.

What affects the quote in Bashley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
The process
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Bashley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
