Canopy cleaning in Northbrook
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Northbrook, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Canopy cleaning around Northbrook
About 56 miles out from central London, Northbrook is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Northbrook are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Northbrook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Micheldever CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Leave it or put it right?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Somewhere as small as Northbrook, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Northbrook knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Northbrook questions
Will you come out to Northbrook?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Northbrook is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Northbrook?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Northbrook. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
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 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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
