Canopy cleaning in East Stratton
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. If you have grease filters blocking between washes and poor capture at the hood, we can help, from grease gutters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

About 54 miles out from central London, East Stratton is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

FAQs for East Stratton
Can the work in East Stratton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in East Stratton keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in East Stratton?
The local authority for East Stratton is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Stratton
In East Stratton, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. With notice, the visit to East Stratton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What else we do in East Stratton
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in East Stratton and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A light fitting that does not work
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Stratton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
