Questions from Hollywater
Do you work in villages like Hollywater?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hollywater included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Hollywater?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hollywater. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Hollywater
If the canopy in Hollywater is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include poor capture at the hood and grease filters blocking between washes, on wall canopies, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
In a village or hamlet like Hollywater, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Hollywater
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Hollywater, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Hollywater. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hollywater. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Woodlea Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. 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 Hollywater, about 0.6 miles north-west.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Bent or broken filters
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, 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.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Hollywater is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
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, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Hollywater
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hollywater
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Hollywater, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Why it’s worth doing now in Hollywater
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hollywater is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
