Canopy cleaning in Old Netley: the local picture
Old Netley lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 23 sandwich bars and takeaways across Old Netley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Netley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul’s Church, or anywhere in Old Netley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
Why deal with it now?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Old Netley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What we are called out for in Old Netley
Grease does not build up any differently in Old Netley: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 2.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Old Netley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- 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 photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Old Netley questions
Which environmental health team covers Old Netley?
In Old Netley, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does the sea air around Old Netley make a difference to canopy cleaning?
It can. Old Netley is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
