Canopy Cleaning in Catisfield
Canopy cleaning for Catisfield, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A hood coated in old grease
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A site near Catisfield typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
About our canopy cleaning in Catisfield
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. We are often asked to deal with an EHO comment about the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning, across baffle filters, wall canopies and grease gutters.
In a smaller place like Catisfield, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the 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.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Bent or broken filters
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What we’re called out for in Catisfield
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Catisfield, about 2.2 miles north.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
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, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Catisfield
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Catisfield
Is Catisfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Catisfield included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Catisfield during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 16 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Catisfield. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Catisfield
Catisfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs, bars and clubs across Catisfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Catisfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Catisfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Ranvilles Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Catisfield
Getting the canopy cleaned in Catisfield now saves a bigger job later. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. In a smaller place like Catisfield, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
