How we handle canopy cleaning in Owslebury Bottom
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you’re dealing with wet, greasy drips from the hood and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Owslebury Bottom, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Bent or broken filters
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Owslebury Bottom, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Owslebury Bottom
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Kitchen extracts in Owslebury Bottom
Kitchens in Owslebury Bottom get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Owslebury Bottom 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Owslebury Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 3.7 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Owslebury Bottom, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
