Canopy cleaning in Hangersley, done properly
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with poor capture at the hood and canopy gutters full of old fat, across grease gutters, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Hangersley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
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.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Hangersley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Hangersley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease, kitchens and Hangersley
Fire safety in Hangersley falls to 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hangersley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Poulner Infant School or anywhere near Hangersley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Hangersley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

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, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hangersley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Hangersley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hangersley?
Kitchens in Hangersley are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Hangersley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
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 do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What we’re called out for in Hangersley
A canopy in Hangersley picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 4.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
