About our canopy cleaning in Kempshott
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and grease gutters, and people most often call us about poor capture at the hood and a hood coated in old grease.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Kempshott gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Kempshott than wait for a failure.

Places near Kempshott
What else we do in Kempshott
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Kempshott
However carefully a kitchen in Kempshott is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Canopy cleaning around Kempshott
There are about 28 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Kempshott, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kempshott. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Kempshott. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kempshott Junior School or anywhere near Kempshott, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 2.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Kempshott
Will you come out to Kempshott?
Yes. Kempshott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kempshott?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Kempshott. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
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 normally reply within one working day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean when you’re not cooking, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Tell us when your site near Kempshott is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
