Cadnam: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cadnam during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cadnam. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Cadnam?
Fire safety enforcement in Cadnam is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Cadnam?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cadnam
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers canopy light fittings, island canopies and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are overflowing grease troughs and gutters and condensation running down the canopy.
In a small place like Cadnam, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Cadnam
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Cadnam, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cadnam
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Cadnam and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cadnam.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Canopy cleaning around Cadnam
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cadnam. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Cadnam. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cadnam. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cadnam (Landford Manor is about 4.6 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cadnam is Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 2.2 miles east.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Honest limits
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
