Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Murrell Green, Hampshire
Canopy and hood cleaning for commercial sites in Murrell Green and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Canopy cleaning in Murrell Green, done properly
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Common call-outs are for a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and poor capture at the hood, across island canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Murrell Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Check all filters are fitted before service
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Murrell Green questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Murrell Green?
That is Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Murrell Green. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Murrell Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Murrell Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Murrell Green?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hook Junior School or anywhere near Murrell Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
