Canopy cleaning in Little Posbrook, done properly
We clean canopies in Little Posbrook when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have condensation running down the canopy and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Little Posbrook, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Questions from Little Posbrook
Can you get to a site in Little Posbrook?
Yes. Little Posbrook is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Little Posbrook?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Little Posbrook gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Typically because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
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 we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen extracts in Little Posbrook
Little Posbrook is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Little Posbrook. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Little Posbrook falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Stubbington House School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Posbrook
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Little Posbrook is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When to call us in Little Posbrook
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Fat running down the front of the hood
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Little Posbrook, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep the fan on through service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
