Grease, kitchens and Odiham
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Odiham. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Odiham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Odiham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 4.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Odiham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Canopy cleaning in Odiham, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with overflowing grease troughs and gutters and fat running down the front of the hood, on plenum chambers, grease gutters and wall canopies.
For a smaller kitchen near Odiham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Want a quote for canopy cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Visits to a place like Odiham are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Odiham questions
Do you work in villages like Odiham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Odiham included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Odiham?
Fire safety enforcement in Odiham is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them because that’s often the dirtiest part.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Common problems we fix in Odiham
A canopy in Odiham 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
For schools such as Mayhill Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Why deal with it now?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. In a smaller place like Odiham, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
