Canopy cleaning in Grateley, done properly
If the canopy in Grateley is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are a filter housing caked in grease and a hood coated in old grease.
For a kitchen in or near Grateley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works
We turn up 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 any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Grateley can be planned properly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
There’s no standard 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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Grateley kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Grateley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Grateley 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Grateley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Grateley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 5.4 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Why act early in Grateley
A canopy clean in Grateley now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. A fault that closes a site in a village like Grateley affects everyone who depends on it.
