When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:

  • A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
  • A dirty extract fan further along the system
  • Filters that no longer seal in the housing

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Canopy light fittings
  • Grease gutters
  • Wall canopies
  • Baffle filters
  • Plenum chambers
  • Island canopies

Canopy cleaning in Morestead, done properly

We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include greasy streaks across the canopy and filters that never seem to stay clean, on wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers.

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.

A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Morestead

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we need to know

When you contact us, these details help:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The site address and the type of premises

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Canopy cleaning in Morestead: the local picture

Fire safety in Morestead 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. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Morestead. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Morestead Church or elsewhere in Morestead, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 2.7 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Morestead is about 3 miles south-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO21, we can take on canopy cleaning. Morestead is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 9 miles from Morestead.

Every address in SO21 is within our area for canopy cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. That includes premises on Morestead Road and Jackman's Hill and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Morestead, we cover Owslebury Bottom (1 mile south), Owslebury (1 mile south), Baybridge (2 miles south-east), Hensting (2 miles south) and Temple Valley (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Winchester (3 miles north-west), Eastleigh (5 miles south-west), Fareham (13 miles south), Andover (15 miles north-west), Horndean (14 miles south-east) and Totton (13 miles south-west).

Different parts, different methods

Grease troughs and gutters

Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.

Island canopies

Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a small place like Morestead, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Why book with us

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Fully insured
  • We diagnose before we treat
  • Every visit written up, with pictures

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced or how to check a contractor.

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Morestead, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
  2. Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
  3. We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
  4. The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
  5. Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Getting a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Morestead: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Morestead?

Yes, Morestead is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Morestead?

That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Morestead. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.

What causes grease to drip from the hood?

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. A thorough clean stops it.

What accreditations do you have?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Does a canopy clean meet TR19?

On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
