About our canopy cleaning in Ibthorpe
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about an EHO comment about the canopy and condensation running down the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Ibthorpe, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Bent or broken filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Ibthorpe
Which environmental health team covers Ibthorpe?
The local authority for Ibthorpe is Test Valley 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.
Which fire authority looks after Ibthorpe?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ibthorpe. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
How it 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 photos, we can arrive in Ibthorpe knowing what to expect.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Ibthorpe, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job
