Enham Alamein canopy cleaning
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Enham Alamein. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Canopy cleaning in Enham Alamein
We clean canopies in Enham Alamein when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are greasy streaks across the canopy and fat running down the front of the hood.
For a kitchen in or near Enham Alamein, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: 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.

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 EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Photo reports with every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
How it works
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. After that, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Enham Alamein can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Grease, kitchens and Enham Alamein
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Enham Alamein, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Enham Alamein. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Enham Alamein is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Enham Alamein is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2 miles south-west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Saint George, or anywhere in Enham Alamein, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Enham Alamein: your questions answered
Can you work in Enham Alamein outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Enham Alamein?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you cover Enham Alamein?
Yes. Our technicians work in Enham Alamein, within the South East and London area we cover.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
How we price canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
