Canopy and hood cleaning in Mislingford, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning across Mislingford and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Mislingford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and greasy streaks across the canopy, on plenum chambers, island canopies and wall canopies.
In a small place like Mislingford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Common questions in Mislingford
Can you get to a site in Mislingford?
Yes, Mislingford is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Mislingford be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Mislingford. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Why it’s worth doing now in Mislingford
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we are called out for in Mislingford
Any canopy in Mislingford that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mislingford, about 3.6 miles south-west.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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 FSA’s data shows about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Mislingford. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Mislingford get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
