How we handle canopy cleaning in Gosport
For canopies and hoods in Gosport, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. The work covers wall canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy edge and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
Kitchens in towns like Gosport are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we cannot reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Gosport
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Gosport and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gosport
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Catching it early in Gosport means you choose the day.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Gosport
However carefully a kitchen in Gosport is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
What we are most often called out for:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Gosport, about 0.8 miles south.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Bent or broken filters
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Gosport
The coast is only about 2 miles from Gosport. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 37 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Gosport. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Gosport is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Faith's Church or elsewhere in Gosport, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Brockhurst Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Gosport is in Hampshire. We provide canopy cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Gosport and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Gosport is one of them.
Work in PO12 and PO13 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You will find streets such as Station Road, St Johns Square and Cockleshell Square, and we cover them all for canopy cleaning. Gosport sits on or near the A32 and B3333, which makes travel easy for canopy cleaning. If your site is just outside Gosport, we cover Forton (1 mile south-east), Elson (1 mile north), Priddy's Hard (1 mile east), Bridgemary (1 mile north-west) and Rowner (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Havant (8 miles north-east), Eastleigh (14 miles north-west), Fareham (4 miles north-west), Horndean (9 miles north-east), Hedge End (10 miles north-west) and Waterlooville (8 miles north-east). Being one of Hampshire’s larger places, Gosport has commercial sites of every size, all within our area for canopy cleaning.
Around Gosport
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around St Vincent College, Brune Park Community School and Queen's Head pub, among other places. Gosport’s nearest station is Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Search (1.3 miles south-east) and Gosport War Memorial Hospital (0.8 miles south). For a walk, there’s Portsdown Hill and West of the River Alver.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In Gosport, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- 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.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Gosport: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Gosport out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 33 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Gosport, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Gosport?
It can, as Gosport is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What paperwork do I get after a 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.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
