Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Emery Down
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 cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you have wet, greasy drips from the hood and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can help, from plenum chambers, wall canopies and grease gutters onwards.
In a small place like Emery Down, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. If the system at a site near Emery Down fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Emery Down, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Emery Down questions
Who inspects food businesses in Emery Down?
The local authority for Emery Down is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can a school canteen extract in Emery Down be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Emery Down. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, 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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included because that is often the dirtiest part.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
