About our canopy cleaning in Blackmoor
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are drips from the canopy onto the range and greasy streaks across the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Blackmoor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Blackmoor run smoothly.
- 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.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What affects the quote in Blackmoor
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Blackmoor questions
Will you come out to Blackmoor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Blackmoor?
In Blackmoor, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: 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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A light fitting that does not work
- Bent or broken filters
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters

What canopy cleaning looks like in Blackmoor
Look up Blackmoor on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Blackmoor. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Fire safety in Blackmoor falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Blackmoor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. 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.
For schools such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Matthew's Church or anywhere around Blackmoor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
