How we handle canopy cleaning in Hawkley
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help, from island canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Hawkley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a village like Hawkley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
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 work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Hawkley: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hawkley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hawkley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Hawkley after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hawkley keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. We will tell you what to expect.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hawkley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Hawkley
At about 48 miles from central London, Hawkley sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Hawkley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Hawkley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 3.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Hawkley is about 4 miles north of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From the centre of Hawkley to the outskirts, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.
