How we handle canopy cleaning in Linwood
We clean canopies in Linwood when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Typical jobs include an EHO comment about the canopy and condensation and grease dripping together, on grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Linwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Clean the baffle filters often
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. For a village or hamlet like Linwood, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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
Do you need canopy cleaning in Linwood?
Any canopy in Linwood that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Whether the kitchen is in Linwood itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Linwood
Which fire authority looks after Linwood?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Linwood. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Linwood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Linwood is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When do you clean the canopy?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so service is not affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Why act early in Linwood
In Linwood, 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. Somewhere as small as Linwood, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
