Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Nob's Crook canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning across Nob's Crook and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a village like Nob's Crook are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Canopy cleaning in Nob's Crook, done properly
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 cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you have a hood coated in old grease and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. A planned visit to Nob's Crook is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Every visit written up, with photos

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nob's Crook
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we are called out for in Nob's Crook
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Colden Common Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.
FAQs for Nob's Crook
Can the work in Nob's Crook be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Nob's Crook keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nob's Crook?
Kitchens in Nob's Crook are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.

What should I send you?

How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Never run the range with a filter out
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
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.
