Canopy and hood cleaning in Isington, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning across Isington and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
About our canopy cleaning in Isington
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. Typical jobs include grease filters blocking between washes and a hood coated in old grease, on plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
Work in a small place like Isington starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Isington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Common questions in Isington
Do you work at weekends in Isington?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Isington can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Isington?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Isington and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

What we’re called out for in Isington
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
