About our canopy cleaning in Hill Head
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a hood coated in old grease, on grease gutters, baffle filters and canopy light fittings.
For a kitchen in or near Hill Head, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hill Head
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Poor capture at the hood
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What canopy cleaning looks like in Hill Head
Sea air reaches Hill Head, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hill Head, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. The fire and rescue service for Hill Head is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Crofton Hammond Infant School or anywhere near Hill Head, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Holy Rood Church, or anywhere in Hill Head, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hill Head knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Hill Head now saves a bigger job later. The work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. A planned visit to Hill Head is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
