Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Canopy cleaning in North Waltham
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers canopy light fittings, wall canopies and plenum chambers, and common reasons people get in touch are an EHO comment about the canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
In a village or hamlet like North Waltham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Canopy cleaning in North Waltham: the local picture
Look up North Waltham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around North Waltham, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Waltham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. North Waltham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of St. Michael's, or anywhere in North Waltham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as North Waltham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 5.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
North Waltham is about 5 miles south-west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We carry out canopy cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in North Waltham and the rest of Hampshire. North Waltham is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for canopy cleaning. There’s also a page for Reading, about 19 miles away.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like North Waltham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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’s where we come in.
Common questions in North Waltham
Do you work at weekends in North Waltham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in North Waltham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for North Waltham?
North Waltham is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you work in North Waltham?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes North Waltham.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near North Waltham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
