Canopy and hood cleaning in Crampmoor, Hampshire
Professional canopy cleaning in and around Crampmoor, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.

When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor

Canopy cleaning in Crampmoor
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. We’re often asked to deal with a sticky, discoloured canopy and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Crampmoor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Planning a trip to Crampmoor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Common questions in Crampmoor
Which council inspects kitchens in Crampmoor?
The local authority for Crampmoor is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in villages like Crampmoor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.

Canopy cleaning around Crampmoor
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs and bars across Crampmoor 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. Crampmoor is covered by 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Crampmoor. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 4.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Crampmoor?
Any canopy in Crampmoor 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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Condensation running down the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Cupernham Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

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 will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for most canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Crampmoor.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
