Canopy cleaning in Headbourne Worthy, done properly
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Common call-outs are for a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, across plenum chambers, wall canopies and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Headbourne Worthy starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Headbourne Worthy
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Kings Worthy Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why deal with it now?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Headbourne Worthy now saves a bigger job later. The work takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. If the system at a site near Headbourne Worthy fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Can you get to a site in Headbourne Worthy?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Headbourne Worthy out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Headbourne Worthy. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.

How long is a canopy clean?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You’ll know before any work starts.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
Kitchen extracts in Headbourne Worthy
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars across Headbourne Worthy and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Headbourne Worthy sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Headbourne Worthy. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 2.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Headbourne Worthy, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Headbourne Worthy.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
