Your questions about canopy cleaning in Ower
Which fire service covers Ower?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ower. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work in Ower outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Ower
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. If you are dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can put it right, from grease gutters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Ower, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ower
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ower and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Ower, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ower affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Ower
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Ower and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Ower are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Ower falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital (about 1.1 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Landford Manor, about 4.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Ower; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Ower is about 2 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO51, we can take on canopy cleaning. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Ower is one of them. Southampton is in our area too, about 7 miles from Ower.

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Ower is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
