Canopy cleaning in Hazeley
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you are dealing with a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a filter housing caked in grease, we can put it right, from plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and grease gutters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Hazeley, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
In Hazeley, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hazeley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep the fan on through service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Hazeley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Hazeley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hazeley. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Hazeley get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Mattingley Church, or anywhere in Hazeley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for most canopies. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hazeley knowing what to expect.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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 problems we fix in Hazeley
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 4.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Hazeley: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hazeley?
Food hygiene inspections in Hazeley are carried out by Hart council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hazeley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hazeley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean when the kitchen is closed: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
