How we handle canopy cleaning in Hunton
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about grease channels that no longer drain and an EHO comment about the canopy.
Work in a small place like Hunton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Kitchen extracts in Hunton
Hunton sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Hunton get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Hunton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Hunton is about 7 miles north of Winchester, in Hampshire.

Local landmarks in Hunton
Around Hunton, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Wonston Arms, among other places. The nearest railway station is Micheldever station, roughly 2.9 miles north-east.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What else we do in Hunton
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hunton.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Do you need canopy cleaning in Hunton?
A canopy in Hunton picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A hood coated in old grease
Around Hunton, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of insurance
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
Why it’s worth doing now in Hunton
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, 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 Hunton is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Hunton
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hunton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hunton?
The local authority for Hunton is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
