Grease, kitchens and Leigh Park
The coast is only about 2 miles from Leigh Park. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Leigh Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 44 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 44 takeaways and sandwich shops in Leigh Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leigh Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 1.9 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Francis or elsewhere in Leigh Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Leigh Park is about 1 mile north of Havant, in Hampshire. Leigh Park gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Leigh Park among them. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page (6 miles or so).

Canopy cleaning in Leigh Park, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include a sticky, discoloured canopy and canopy gutters full of old fat, across island canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers.
In a smaller place like Leigh Park, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common problems we fix in Leigh Park
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Poor capture at the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
For schools such as Riders Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
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.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why act early in Leigh Park
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. A site near Leigh Park that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A site near Leigh Park typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Leigh Park and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Leigh Park?

Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
