Canopy Cleaning in Fareham Common
Need canopy cleaning in Fareham Common? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
About our canopy cleaning in Fareham Common
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. 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 are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers grease gutters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
In a smaller place like Fareham Common, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fareham Common
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Fareham Common and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Check all filters are fitted before service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
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.
When to call us in Fareham Common
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Fareham Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Fareham Common
Which fire authority looks after Fareham Common?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Fareham Common?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Fareham Common than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Do you cover Fareham Common?
Yes. We work in Fareham Common and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Grease, kitchens and Fareham Common
At about 1 mile from the coast, Fareham Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 74 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Fareham Common. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Food hygiene inspections in Fareham Common are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wykeham House School or anywhere near Fareham Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Commuter trade near Fareham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
