Canopy and hood cleaning in Newtown, Hampshire
Need canopy cleaning in Newtown? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Newtown
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you have greasy streaks across the canopy and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Newtown, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
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 will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
What affects the quote in Newtown
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For canopy cleaning in Newtown, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Newtown
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Newtown during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Newtown. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newtown?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newtown. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
When do you clean the canopy?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Newtown is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newtown
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Newtown is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Canopy cleaning in Newtown: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars in Newtown and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Newtown is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Newtown, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newtown is Knowle Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Newtown, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
