Southampton · Canopy and hood cleaning
Bassett Green canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning for Bassett Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
About our canopy cleaning in Bassett Green
If the canopy in Bassett Green is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with canopy gutters full of old fat and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can help.
In a smaller place like Bassett Green, 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 cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Bassett Green
Bassett Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Bassett Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 105 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 57 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bassett Green. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Kitchens in Bassett Green get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Alban's Church, or anywhere in Bassett Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Bassett Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why act early in Bassett Green
In Bassett Green, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Bassett Green
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Poor capture at the hood
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bassett Green is Royal South Hants Hospital, about 1.9 miles south.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Tell us when your site near Bassett Green is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Bassett Green: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Bassett Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 28 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bassett Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Bassett Green?
It can, as Bassett Green is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
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.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
