Canopy cleaning in Liphook
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. We are often asked to deal with wet, greasy drips from the hood and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, across plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
For a smaller kitchen near Liphook, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Liphook can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
In Liphook, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. In a smaller place like Liphook, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something 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.
Common problems we fix in Liphook
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church Centre or elsewhere in Liphook, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
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
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Kitchen extracts in Liphook
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered in and around Liphook, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Liphook. 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. Fire safety in Liphook falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bohunt School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Liphook station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
