About our canopy cleaning in Hursley
If the canopy in Hursley is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke hanging around the canopy during service and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
In a small place like Hursley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Hursley
Which fire authority looks after Hursley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hursley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can a school canteen extract in Hursley be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hursley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hursley
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
A hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere like Hursley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Leave it or put it right?
A canopy clean in Hursley now stops the grease spreading further. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Why Hursley businesses choose us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with pictures after each visit

Hursley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hursley. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Fire safety in Hursley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Hursley get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Keble Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hursley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hursley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
