About our canopy cleaning in Mottisfont
If the canopy in Mottisfont is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with drips from the canopy onto the range and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Mottisfont, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Somewhere as small as Mottisfont, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Why deal with it now?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. If the system at a site near Mottisfont fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Canopy cleaning around Mottisfont
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Mottisfont and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. In Mottisfont, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Mottisfont. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Common questions in Mottisfont
Which environmental health team covers Mottisfont?
Food hygiene inspections in Mottisfont are carried out by Test Valley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Mottisfont within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mottisfont is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Mottisfont?
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 4 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
