Canopy Cleaning in Haslar

Why act early in Haslar
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Haslar is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

About our canopy cleaning in Haslar
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. If you are dealing with fat running down the front of the hood and grease filters blocking between washes, we can help, from canopy light fittings, grease gutters and plenum chambers onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Haslar
The coast is only about 1 mile from Haslar. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 64 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 24 takeaways and sandwich shops in Haslar and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. In Haslar, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gosport council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Haselworth Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Haslar is about 2 miles south-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Haslar or further out, we cover canopy cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Haslar is one of them.
Work in PO12 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Froude Road, Military Road and Monckton Road and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Clayhall (1 mile north-west), Alverstoke (1 mile west), Portsmouth Point (1 mile north-east), Privett (2 miles north-west) and Portsea (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Havant (8 miles north-east), Fareham (6 miles north-west), Horndean (10 miles north-east), Hedge End (12 miles north-west), Waterlooville (8 miles north-east) and Purbrook (7 miles north-east).

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Haslar

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Common questions in Haslar
Will you come out to Haslar?
Yes, Haslar is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Haslar?
The local authority for Haslar is Gosport council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What we are called out for in Haslar
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Where a hall near St Francis, or anywhere in Haslar, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Haslar.
- 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.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
