- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Headley
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. The work covers wall canopies, island canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters that clog soon after cleaning and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
In a village or hamlet like Headley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Headley run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Common problems we fix in Headley
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Headley, about 1.9 miles south-west.

Why act early in Headley
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. If the system at a site near Headley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Common questions in Headley
Will you come out to Headley?
Yes. Headley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Headley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Headley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Kitchen extracts in Headley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Headley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Headley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Headley are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Headley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
