How we handle canopy cleaning in Crowdhill
We clean canopies in Crowdhill when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are poor capture at the hood and a filter housing caked in grease.
Work in a small place like Crowdhill 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Crowdhill questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Crowdhill in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Crowdhill. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crowdhill?
The local authority for Crowdhill is Eastleigh council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Crowdhill?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Other services in Crowdhill
Kitchen extracts in Crowdhill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crowdhill. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Crowdhill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Crowdhill is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Crowdhill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.4 miles south-west), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Wyvern Technology College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
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.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
How we price canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Crowdhill
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
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 photos.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Crowdhill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that does not work
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
What happens if it’s left?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Crowdhill is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
