Canopy cleaning in Crookham Village, done properly
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. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for greasy streaks across the canopy and drips from the canopy onto the range, on wall canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers.
Work in a small place like Crookham Village starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What canopy cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Crookham Village
Food Standards Agency data counts about 41 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Crookham Village, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. The fire and rescue service for Crookham Village is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Crookham Village. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Farnham Castle, about 4.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Crookham Village; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Crookham Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 1.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why act early in Crookham Village
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Crookham Village rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Questions from Crookham Village
Can you get to a site in Crookham Village?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crookham Village included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Crookham Village?
In Crookham Village, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Crookham Village.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
