Canopy and hood cleaning in Blendworth, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for commercial sites in Blendworth and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Blendworth can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
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.

Canopy cleaning in Blendworth, done properly
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re often asked to deal with fat running down the front of the hood and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, on canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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.
Questions from Blendworth
Can you work in Blendworth outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Blendworth doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Blendworth?
In Blendworth, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Canopy cleaning in Blendworth: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blendworth. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Blendworth. 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. Food hygiene inspections in Blendworth are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Blendworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Horndean Church of England Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Blendworth, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Blendworth is one of them. Portsmouth is in our area too, around 8 miles away.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
If you need canopy cleaning in Blendworth, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What we are called out for in Blendworth
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Condensation running down the canopy
Uppark, about 4.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Blendworth; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Somewhere as small as Blendworth, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
