Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Catherington
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with poor capture at the hood and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Catherington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Canopy cleaning around Catherington
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Catherington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Catherington is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Catherington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Catherington Church of England Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Catherington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. With notice, the visit to Catherington can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Catherington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What we are called out for in Catherington
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Catherington: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Poor capture at the hood
- 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; Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Catherington, about 5.3 miles south.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters

What affects the quote in Catherington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Catherington questions
Can you work in Catherington outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Catherington needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Catherington during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Catherington, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
What do you do to 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.
