- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)

How we handle canopy cleaning in Kingsmead
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for heavy deposits behind the grease filters and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, across island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Kingsmead 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingsmead

Kingsmead questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kingsmead?
Kingsmead is in the area of 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead?
In Kingsmead, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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 many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Kingsmead?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Kitchen extracts in Kingsmead
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars in and around Kingsmead, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kingsmead is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Kingsmead, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. In a place like Kingsmead, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- 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 photos are taken.

- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Do you need canopy cleaning in Kingsmead?
However carefully a kitchen in Kingsmead is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
For schools such as Swanmore College of Technology, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
