Canopy cleaning in Broadgate, done properly
We clean canopies in Broadgate when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you are dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can help, from baffle filters, grease gutters and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Broadgate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Broadgate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.

Canopy cleaning in Broadgate: the local picture
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadgate, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Broadgate sits within the area of 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. In Broadgate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Broadgate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Broadgate questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Broadgate in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Broadgate. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Which environmental health team covers Broadgate?
The local authority for Broadgate is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover Broadgate?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Broadgate included.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Broadgate
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
