Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy Cleaning in Dean
Canopy and hood cleaning for commercial sites in Dean and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dean
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the front of the hood and canopy gutters full of old fat.
Somewhere as small as Dean, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Dean and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Dean kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars in Dean and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Dean is 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. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dean. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Dean, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Bishops Waltham Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Dean run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
If you need canopy cleaning in Dean, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
FAQs for Dean
Is Dean within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Dean?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Dean needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Dean?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. If the system at a site near Dean fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
