Canopy cleaning in Newnham, done properly
Every canopy we clean in Newnham gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after photos go into your report. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and grease channels that no longer drain.
Work in a small place like Newnham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
What affects the quote in Newnham
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newnham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
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 never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Canopy cleaning in Newnham: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Newnham. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Kitchens in Newnham get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Newnham is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newnham, about 5.2 miles west. The Vyne, about 4.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Newnham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Nicholas or elsewhere in Newnham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)

Newnham questions
Who inspects food businesses in Newnham?
The local authority for Newnham is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newnham?

Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Newnham.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
