What canopy cleaning looks like in Hamble-le-Rice
The coast is only about 1 mile from Hamble-le-Rice. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hamble-le-Rice. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hamble-le-Rice. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Hamble Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A kitchen near Hamble station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Canopy cleaning in Hamble-le-Rice
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. Typical jobs include a sticky, discoloured canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on island canopies, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
Kitchens around a place like Hamble-le-Rice are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Tell us when your site near Hamble-le-Rice is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

Why it’s worth doing now in Hamble-le-Rice
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why Hamble-le-Rice businesses choose us
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
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 never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters

Towns and villages near Hamble-le-Rice
What else we do in Hamble-le-Rice
Hamble-le-Rice: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Hamble-le-Rice?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hamble-le-Rice is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Hamble-le-Rice?
It can. Hamble-le-Rice is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
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’s causing it.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
How we price canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
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
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When to call us in Hamble-le-Rice
Any canopy in Hamble-le-Rice that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Hamble-le-Rice, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
