About our canopy cleaning in Compton
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. If you are dealing with drips from the canopy onto the range and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Compton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A light fitting that does not work
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. A planned visit to Compton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- We are fully insured

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Canopy cleaning around Compton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Compton. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Compton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Compton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Compton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Compton is Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 2.8 miles north.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Compton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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 pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
What else we do in Compton
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Compton
Any canopy in Compton that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
For schools such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Compton: your questions answered
Can the work in Compton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Compton keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Compton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Compton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
