About our canopy cleaning in Longparish
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are poor capture at the hood and a hood coated in old grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Longparish questions
Can a school canteen extract in Longparish be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Longparish. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Longparish?
The local authority for Longparish is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you cover Longparish?
Yes. We work in Longparish and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Longparish kitchens: local notes
In Longparish, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Longparish 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 5.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Longparish, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Longparish knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Longparish
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Common problems we fix in Longparish
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
For schools such as Longparish Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
