Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Canopy cleaning in Northington
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with filters that clog soon after cleaning and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, grease gutters and island canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Northington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from Northington
Which council inspects kitchens in Northington?
In Northington, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers Northington?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Northington. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood doesn’t take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before we start.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Usually because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Grease, kitchens and Northington
Kitchens in Northington get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. About 54 miles out from central London, Northington is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Northington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Local landmarks in Northington

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Northington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A light fitting that does not work
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Northington
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Whether the kitchen is in Northington itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. If the system at a site near Northington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Every job surveyed first
- In business since 2009

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
