FAQs for Durford Wood
Is Durford Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Durford Wood?
Kitchens in Durford Wood are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
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 in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Canopy cleaning in Durford Wood, done properly

We’re often asked to deal with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and filters that never seem to stay clean, across baffle filters, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
For a kitchen in or near Durford Wood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Durford Wood
What affects the quote in Durford Wood
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Kitchen extracts in Durford Wood
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Durford Wood. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Durford Wood. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Durford Wood 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Liss Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Durford Wood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

When to call us in Durford Wood
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Durford Wood: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease channels that no longer drain
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the price is fixed
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
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. Holidays and weekends work well.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Durford Wood can be planned properly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
