Canopy cleaning in Foulford, done properly
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Typical jobs include grease channels that no longer drain and grease filters blocking between washes, on canopy light fittings, grease gutters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Foulford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Kitchen extracts in Foulford
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Foulford. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Foulford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Foulford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Ringwood School Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Foulford (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Foulford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Foulford?
Yes. Foulford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Foulford after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Foulford keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
When to call us in Foulford
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Foulford is St Leonard's Hospital, about 5.5 miles south-west.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they recommend a next date
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Foulford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
