Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Somborne
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include filters that never seem to stay clean and poor capture at the hood, on grease gutters, baffle filters and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Little Somborne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Little Somborne
Little Somborne is covered by 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. Kitchens in Little Somborne get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Little Somborne is Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 5.6 miles east.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
The process
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 an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Little Somborne before we set off.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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 equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What affects the quote in Little Somborne
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common problems we fix in Little Somborne
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Poor capture at the hood
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Little Somborne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

FAQs for Little Somborne
Who is the fire and rescue service for Little Somborne?
Fire safety enforcement in Little Somborne is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Little Somborne?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Little Somborne does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. 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.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
