Canopy Cleaning in Hartley Wintney
We cover Hartley Wintney for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
How we handle canopy cleaning in Hartley Wintney
We clean canopies in Hartley Wintney when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you are dealing with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help, from wall canopies, grease gutters and island canopies onwards.
In a smaller place like Hartley Wintney, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hartley Wintney
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hartley Wintney
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John's Church or anywhere around Hartley Wintney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Full insurance on every job

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Hartley Wintney
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
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.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hartley Wintney, so let us know how to reach it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Hartley Wintney questions
Can the work in Hartley Wintney be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Hartley Wintney?
In Hartley Wintney, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Hartley Wintney kitchens: local notes
Look up Hartley Wintney on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hartley Wintney. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Fire safety in Hartley Wintney falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Hartley Wintney, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Greenfields Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
