Canopy cleaning in Greatham, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers wall canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are heavy deposits behind the grease filters and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos 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.

Why act early in Greatham
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Greatham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Common questions in Greatham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Greatham?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Greatham. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Greatham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Greatham is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
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. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.

What else we do in Greatham
What affects the quote in Greatham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need canopy cleaning in Greatham, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Greatham
Kitchens in Greatham get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Greatham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 2.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Greatham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Greatham Primary School or anywhere near Greatham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
