Canopy cleaning in Nursted
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. 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. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on grease gutters, island canopies and baffle filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Nursted
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What else we do in Nursted
Kitchen extracts in Nursted
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Nursted. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Nursted. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Nursted are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Petersfield School or anywhere near Nursted, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Nursted
Who inspects food businesses in Nursted?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nursted. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Nursted?
Yes, Nursted is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
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.
What we’re called out for in Nursted
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Nursted: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Poor capture at the hood
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nursted (Uppark is about 2.5 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens if it’s left?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. If the system at a site near Nursted fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

The process
Protection comes first: 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 part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Nursted.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Nursted and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
