Canopy and hood cleaning in Harbridge, Hampshire

How we handle canopy cleaning in Harbridge
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. We are often asked to deal with an EHO comment about the canopy and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on grease gutters, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
In a small place like Harbridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Harbridge
Harbridge is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Harbridge are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Harbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Harbridge is about 3 miles north of Ringwood, in Hampshire.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Harbridge
Which fire service covers Harbridge?
Harbridge is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Harbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Typically because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Bent or broken filters
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
When to call us in Harbridge
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Harbridge is St Leonard's Hospital, about 5.7 miles south-west.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Harbridge can be planned properly.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Harbridge
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. With notice, the visit to Harbridge can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
