Canopy cleaning in Lower Green
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. 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 canopy light fittings, grease gutters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease filters blocking between washes and condensation and grease dripping together.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
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.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere like Lower Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Lower Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Green?
The local authority for Lower Green is East Hampshire 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.
Do you work at weekends in Lower Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Lower Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you work in Lower Green?
Yes. We cover Lower Green and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Green
When the building owner and the occupier are different, 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.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the quote in Lower Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Lower Green
Lower Green 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. We cover Lower Green, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Lower Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Green
Getting the canopy cleaned in Lower Green now saves a bigger job later. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Lower Green affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
