Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Martin, Hampshire
Looking for canopy cleaning in Martin? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease channels that no longer drain
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Martin run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
How we handle canopy cleaning in Martin
Every canopy we clean in Martin gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. The work covers canopy light fittings, grease gutters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a hood coated in old grease and an EHO comment about the canopy.
Work in a small place like Martin starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Martin: your questions answered
Can you come to Martin after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Martin doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Martin?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Martin. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Leave it or put it right?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. With notice, the visit to Martin can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why Martin businesses choose us
- Fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat

Martin kitchens: local notes
In Martin, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Martin 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.
A TR19® clean in Martin doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Martin
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Common problems we fix in Martin
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Poor capture at the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Martin, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
