About our canopy cleaning in Clayhall
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. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Common call-outs are for grease channels that no longer drain and a hood coated in old grease, on island canopies, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
In a smaller place like Clayhall, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Clayhall questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Clayhall?
Fire safety enforcement in Clayhall is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Clayhall?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Clayhall gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Clayhall?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Clayhall?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Clayhall is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1 mile north-west.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A site near Clayhall typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Kitchen extracts in Clayhall
The coast is only about 1 mile from Clayhall. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 40 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Clayhall, up to about a mile and a half out. 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 Clayhall. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Haselworth Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Francis or elsewhere in Clayhall, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Booking now means the visit to Clayhall is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
