How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
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.
About our canopy cleaning in Kentsboro
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers, and people most often call us about a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and an EHO comment about the canopy.
Work in a small place like Kentsboro starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Kentsboro knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Kentsboro
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Canopy cleaning in Kentsboro: the local picture
Kentsboro is covered by 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. In Kentsboro, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Questions from Kentsboro
Do you cover smaller places like Kentsboro?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kentsboro?
Kitchens in Kentsboro are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Why act early in Kentsboro
In Kentsboro, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Kentsboro rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Kentsboro
A canopy in Kentsboro 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Around Kentsboro, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.
