Canopy cleaning in Brighton Hill, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and wet, greasy drips from the hood, across canopy light fittings, grease gutters and wall canopies.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Brighton Hill gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we are called out for in Brighton Hill
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brighton Hill, about 2.1 miles north.

What else we do in Brighton Hill
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Brighton Hill and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We plan the journey to Brighton Hill and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Brighton Hill than wait for a failure.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Brighton Hill
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brighton Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Brighton Hill are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brighton Hill?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Brighton Hill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Brighton Hill?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Brighton Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 51 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 29 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brighton Hill. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Brighton Hill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Brighton Hill is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near The Church Of Christ The King, or anywhere in Brighton Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighton Hill Community School or anywhere near Brighton Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
