What canopy cleaning cannot fix
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
Canopy cleaning in Kimpton, done properly
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is usually in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. The work covers canopy light fittings, grease gutters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and greasy streaks across the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Kimpton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Somewhere as small as Kimpton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kimpton
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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 ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Canopy cleaning in Kimpton: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Kimpton are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Kimpton. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Kimpton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Kimpton questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Kimpton?
Fire safety enforcement in Kimpton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Kimpton?
The local authority for Kimpton is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can one contract cover all our sites?

Are you insured?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
