Canopy Cleaning in North Charford
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out in North Charford, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Charford
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for wet, greasy drips from the hood and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on baffle filters, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
For a kitchen in or near North Charford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

North Charford: your questions answered
Is North Charford within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and North Charford is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in North Charford?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in North Charford keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you need canopy cleaning in North Charford?
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Charford is Salisbury District Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like North Charford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Grease, kitchens and North Charford
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in North Charford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in North Charford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in North Charford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hale Primary School or anywhere near North Charford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
