Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Pamber Heath canopy cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Pamber Heath. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep the fan on through service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
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.
Canopy cleaning in Pamber Heath, done properly
Every canopy we clean in Pamber Heath gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. The work covers canopy light fittings, grease gutters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease filters blocking between washes and fat running down the front of the hood.
For a kitchen in or near Pamber Heath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Pamber Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Pamber Heath: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Pamber Heath be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Pamber Heath, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you work in Pamber Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long is a canopy clean?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We’ll tell you what to expect.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Typically because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
Part by part
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.
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 scrape it clean.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- 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 drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies

Pamber Heath kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Pamber Heath, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Pamber Heath. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Pamber Heath. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Luke's Church, or anywhere in Pamber Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Pamber Heath, such as The Vyne about 3.8 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What we’re called out for in Pamber Heath
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Silchester Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after every visit

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, 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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
