Canopy cleaning in Norton Green
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. The work covers wall canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation and grease dripping together and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
In a village or hamlet like Norton Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Norton Green.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
For canopy cleaning in Norton Green, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Common questions in Norton Green
Can a school canteen extract in Norton Green be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Norton Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Norton Green?
Norton Green is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When to call us in Norton Green
A canopy in Norton Green picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor capture at the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
For schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
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.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
