What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
About our canopy cleaning in Funtley
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you have a hood coated in old grease and an EHO comment about the canopy, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Funtley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Questions from Funtley
Will you come out to Funtley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Funtley included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Funtley?
Food hygiene inspections in Funtley are carried out by Fareham council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Funtley
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Kitchen extracts in Funtley
The coast is only about 3 miles from Funtley. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops in Funtley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Funtley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 0.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Orchard Lea Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Funtley, we can take on canopy cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Funtley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for canopy cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 7 miles away.
Here we cover the PO15, PO17 and PO16 postcode area for canopy cleaning. Whether your site is on Funtley Road, Stag Way and Roebuck Avenue or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Funtley, we cover Knowle (1 mile north), Heathfield (1 mile south), Tapnage (1 mile north), Catisfield (2 miles south-west) and Titchfield Park (2 miles west).

What else we do in Funtley
What we’re called out for in Funtley
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A hood coated in old grease
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation running down the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Funtley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Funtley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. A fault that closes a site in a village like Funtley affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, 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.
