Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Little Ann canopy cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning for commercial sites in Little Ann and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A filter housing caked in grease
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Canopy cleaning in Little Ann, done properly
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and a hood coated in old grease, across island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings.
In a village or hamlet like Little Ann, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Little Ann
Which fire service covers Little Ann?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Little Ann. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can school kitchens in Little Ann be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Little Ann, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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 usually come back within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
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. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. If the system at a site near Little Ann fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
What we are called out for in Little Ann
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Little Ann, about 2.2 miles north-east.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. Visits to a village like Little Ann are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

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.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Little Ann kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Little Ann. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Little Ann are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Little Ann sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Little Ann, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
