Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burkham
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for drips from the canopy onto the range and filters that clog soon after cleaning, across canopy light fittings, wall canopies and island canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Burkham questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Burkham?
Fire safety enforcement in Burkham is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is Burkham within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burkham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood doesn’t take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before work begins.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
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 we are called out for in Burkham
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burkham (Hall Place is about 1.9 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Burkham can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

Why it’s worth doing now in Burkham
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Planning a trip to Burkham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
