Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Durley Street
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you have poor capture at the hood and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Planning a trip to Durley Street ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Durley Street kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Durley Street. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Durley Street get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Durley Street 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Wyvern Technology College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 3.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Durley Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Clean the baffle filters often
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Durley Street questions
Can you get to a site in Durley Street?
Yes, Durley Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Durley Street?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Durley Street. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
