About our canopy cleaning in Netley Marsh

Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you have filters that clog soon after cleaning and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, we can help.

For a kitchen in or near Netley Marsh, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?

Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Netley Marsh is calmer for everyone.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What you get with us

  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Each visit written up, with photos
  • In business since 2009
  • A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Netley Marsh: your questions answered

Which fire service covers Netley Marsh?

That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

Is Netley Marsh within the area you cover?

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

Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?

Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.

Will I get a report after the canopy clean?

You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.

What should I send you?

A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.

How much of the canopy do you clean?

The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

What kinds of canopies do you clean?

Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

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 photos.

Netley Marsh kitchens: local notes

The coast is only about 3 miles from Netley Marsh. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Netley Marsh, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Fire safety in Netley Marsh falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

School kitchens, at schools like Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Matthew or elsewhere in Netley Marsh, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What staff can safely do

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

The process

Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Netley Marsh are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
  2. We protect everything below once it has cooled.
  3. Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
  4. Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
  5. You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How to get a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Netley Marsh

Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • An EHO comment about the canopy
  • Filters that clog soon after cleaning
  • Grease channels that no longer drain
  • Heavy deposits behind the grease filters

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital (about 1.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether they’re fully insured

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
  • Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
  • Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
  • Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily

A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.

Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.

How we price canopy cleaning

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • How big the system is
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The number of sites or systems

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Helping us quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
