What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Calshot run smoothly.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How we handle canopy cleaning in Calshot
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you’re dealing with canopy gutters full of old fat and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can put it right, from baffle filters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies onwards.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Calshot: your questions answered
Is Calshot within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Calshot is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Calshot?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Calshot. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean when you are not cooking, so service isn’t affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep the fan on through service
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
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
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
What affects the quote in Calshot
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need canopy cleaning in Calshot, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we are called out for in Calshot
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Calshot is Coldeast, about 4.5 miles north-east.

Kitchen extracts in Calshot
At about 1 mile from the coast, Calshot is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Calshot, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. The fire and rescue service for Calshot is 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St George or elsewhere in Calshot, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Osborne House, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Calshot; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
