What canopy cleaning cannot fix

- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)

About our canopy cleaning in Marchwood
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can help.
In a smaller place like Marchwood, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Marchwood
Why it’s worth doing now in Marchwood
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. A planned visit to Marchwood fits your hours; an emergency does not.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Marchwood: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Marchwood?
The local authority for Marchwood is New Forest 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 do school kitchen extract cleaning in Marchwood in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Marchwood. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Kitchen extracts in Marchwood
Sea air reaches Marchwood, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Marchwood, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Fire safety in Marchwood falls to 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Southampton Tudor House and Garden is about 2 miles east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Apostle, or anywhere in Marchwood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Marchwood is about 3 miles south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the SO40 postcode area, we cover canopy cleaning for commercial sites. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Marchwood is one of them.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Common problems we fix in Marchwood
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
For schools such as Marchwood Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Marchwood can usually be finished without a second trip.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
