How we handle canopy cleaning in North Stoneham
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. We’re often asked to deal with greasy streaks across the canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, across plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near North Stoneham, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

North Stoneham: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in North Stoneham?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers North Stoneham. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in North Stoneham during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of North Stoneham. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What canopy cleaning looks like in North Stoneham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of North Stoneham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In North Stoneham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in North Stoneham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Nightingale Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near St. Nicolas' Church, or anywhere in North Stoneham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in North Stoneham
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
A kitchen near Southampton Airport Parkway station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to North Stoneham.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
