Canopy and hood cleaning in Crockerhill, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for Crockerhill, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Crockerhill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Canopy cleaning in Crockerhill
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you have a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Why act early in Crockerhill
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. If the system at a site near Crockerhill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A light fitting that does not work
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies

Common questions in Crockerhill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crockerhill?
In Crockerhill, it’s Fareham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Crockerhill?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Crockerhill gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
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.
What affects the quote in Crockerhill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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 we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Canopy cleaning around Crockerhill
At about 3 miles from the coast, Crockerhill is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Crockerhill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crockerhill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Crockerhill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 1 mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like The Henry Cort Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
