- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
When to call us in Northney
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Northney is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.1 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
About our canopy cleaning in Northney
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about grease filters blocking between washes and a hood coated in old grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something 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 send you a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Northney questions
Do you work in villages like Northney?
Yes, Northney is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Northney?
It can. Salt air reaches Northney, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
What should I send you?
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. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Northney
At about 1 mile from the coast, Northney is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Northney. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Northney sits within the area of 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 1.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Northney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Northney, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Northney is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients.
Canopy cleaning in PO11 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on Northney Lane, Spinnaker Grange and Northney Road and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Northney, we cover North Hayling (1 mile south), Warblington (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile south-west) and Langstone (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north-west), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (12 miles north).
Landmarks near Northney
In Northney, that means kitchens and buildings near Eames Farm and The Ship Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Warblington station, about 1.7 miles north of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Havant Museum (1.7 miles north-west) and Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.1 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Hayling Billy.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Northney, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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 pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
