What a clean will not put right
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line

Canopy cleaning in East Cholderton, done properly
Every canopy we clean in East Cholderton gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. If you are dealing with a hood coated in old grease and condensation and grease dripping together, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like East Cholderton 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere as small as East Cholderton, 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Canopy cleaning around East Cholderton
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Cholderton. 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. The fire and rescue service for East Cholderton is 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 3.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Amport Church of England Primary School or anywhere near East Cholderton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

FAQs for East Cholderton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Cholderton?
Food hygiene inspections in East Cholderton are carried out by Test Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Cholderton?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for East Cholderton. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is East Cholderton in your area?
Yes. We cover East Cholderton and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When do you clean the canopy?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.

When to call us in East Cholderton
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Fat running down the front of the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in East Cholderton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why deal with it now?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near East Cholderton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
