How we handle canopy cleaning in Braishfield
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. Common call-outs are for filters that clog soon after cleaning and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across wall canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Braishfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Canopy cleaning around Braishfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Braishfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Braishfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley 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. Braishfield is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.3 miles north-west), access may need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Braishfield Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Near you in Braishfield
Around Braishfield, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Romsey School and The Wheatsheaf pub. For rail, the closest station is Romsey station, about 2.4 miles south-west. A little further out are King Johns House (2.7 miles south-west) and Romsey Community Hospital (2.2 miles south). Not far away are Emer Bog and Baddesley Common.
What we’re called out for in Braishfield
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A hood coated in old grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Romsey Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Braishfield, about 2.2 miles south.

- If they look at the system before pricing
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Braishfield.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Braishfield
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Braishfield?
The local authority for Braishfield is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Braishfield?
Fire safety enforcement in Braishfield is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What information do you need?
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. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Why act early in Braishfield
A canopy clean in Braishfield now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Photo reports with every job
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
