How we handle canopy cleaning in Over Wallop
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you’re dealing with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and fat running down the front of the hood, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Over Wallop, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Why act early in Over Wallop
A canopy clean in Over Wallop now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Somewhere as small as Over Wallop, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What we’re called out for in Over Wallop
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
What we are most often called out for:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Over Wallop, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Nearby places to Over Wallop
What else we do in Over Wallop
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Over Wallop knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Common questions in Over Wallop
Can you get to a site in Over Wallop?
Yes, Over Wallop is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Over Wallop after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Over Wallop does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow a few hours for most canopies. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Does a canopy clean meet 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.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Over Wallop
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
