Canopy and hood cleaning in Privett, Hampshire
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out in Privett, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Everything the job in Privett needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Canopy cleaning in Privett, done properly
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Typical jobs include canopy gutters full of old fat and poor capture at the hood, on plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
Around a smaller place like Privett, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Privett: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Privett?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Privett included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Privett?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Privett than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included because that is often the dirtiest part.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Privett
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
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.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What affects the quote in Privett
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Privett kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Privett, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 31 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Privett. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Privett get their food hygiene inspections from Gosport council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Gomer Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near St Faith's Church, or anywhere in Privett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 0.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Privett is about 1 mile south-west of Gosport, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Privett, we can take on canopy cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Privett among them.

Leave it or put it right?
In Privett, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Privett at a time that suits you.
