Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Empshott, Hampshire
For canopy and hood cleaning in Empshott, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Poor capture at the hood
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
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.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Empshott

As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for smoke hanging around the canopy during service and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on baffle filters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers.
Work in a small place like Empshott 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.

What else we do in Empshott
Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Empshott
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Rood or elsewhere in Empshott, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Empshott before we set off.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Empshott
Can you get to a site in Empshott?
Yes, Empshott is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Empshott?
Food hygiene inspections in Empshott are carried out by East Hampshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
When do you clean the canopy?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
