Canopy cleaning in East Worldham, done properly
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers baffle filters, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about a sticky, discoloured canopy and an EHO comment about the canopy.
Work in a small place like East Worldham starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in East Worldham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If you can send photos, we can arrive in East Worldham knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

East Worldham kitchens: local notes
East Worldham is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In East Worldham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in East Worldham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Eggar's School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why act early in East Worldham
In East Worldham, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- Every job surveyed first
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from East Worldham
Which environmental health team covers East Worldham?
In East Worldham, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after East Worldham?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers East Worldham. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
