Your questions about canopy cleaning in Liss Forest
Do you work in villages like Liss Forest?
Yes. Liss Forest is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Liss Forest?
In Liss Forest, it’s East Hampshire 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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Liss Forest
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
Work in a small place like Liss Forest 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Kitchen extracts in Liss Forest
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Liss Forest and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Fire safety in Liss Forest falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Liss Forest. 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 a café or takeaway near Liss station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. For schools such as Liss Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near St Saviour's, or anywhere in Liss Forest, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Liss Forest, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
