Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Copse
For canopies and hoods in New Copse, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. The work covers grease gutters, wall canopies and plenum chambers, and common reasons people get in touch are wet, greasy drips from the hood and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
For a kitchen in or near New Copse, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in New Copse
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Condensation running down the canopy
For schools such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When the next visit should be, and why
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Bent or broken filters
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Canopy cleaning in New Copse: the local picture
At about 49 miles from central London, New Copse sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers New Copse. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in New Copse, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around New Copse (Bentworth Hall is about 0.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like New Copse, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in New Copse

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
