About our canopy cleaning in Eversley Centre
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. Typical jobs include a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a sticky, discoloured canopy, across island canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters.
In a small place like Eversley Centre, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
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.

What else we do in Eversley Centre
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Eversley Centre is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Questions from Eversley Centre
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Eversley Centre out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Eversley Centre, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Eversley Centre?
Kitchens in Eversley Centre are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Eversley Centre, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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 pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Eversley Centre kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Eversley Centre, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Eversley Centre is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Eversley Centre get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Eversley Centre, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Pinewood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Eversley Centre, about 4.1 miles north-east.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
