- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
About our canopy cleaning in Hattingley
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you are dealing with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hattingley, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Why act early in Hattingley
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Hattingley questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hattingley?
Hattingley is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hattingley?
The local authority for Hattingley is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that is where grease hides.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What we do, step by step
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hattingley before we set off.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote

Grease, kitchens and Hattingley
It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hattingley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hattingley 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.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Hattingley?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hattingley (Bentworth Hall is about 1.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
