When to call us in Horsebridge
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Condensation running down the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Horsebridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horsebridge
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters that clog soon after cleaning and drips from the canopy onto the range.
For a kitchen in or near Horsebridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Horsebridge
Which council inspects kitchens in Horsebridge?
The local authority for Horsebridge is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Horsebridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Horsebridge is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Grease, kitchens and Horsebridge
In Horsebridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Horsebridge 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 run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 5.6 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 2.5 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Horsebridge
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Horsebridge
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.

How the visit works

- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
