Canopy cleaning in New Alresford
Every canopy we clean in New Alresford gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. If you’re dealing with wet, greasy drips from the hood and an EHO comment about the canopy, we can put it right, from grease gutters, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near New Alresford, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. A site near New Alresford that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Common questions in New Alresford
Which fire service covers New Alresford?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for New Alresford. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can a school canteen extract in New Alresford be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around New Alresford, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We plan the journey to New Alresford and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What canopy cleaning looks like in New Alresford
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs across New Alresford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for New Alresford is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in New Alresford get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around New Alresford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Sun Hill Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in New Alresford
However carefully a kitchen in New Alresford is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around New Alresford (Hinton Ampner House is about 3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
