Canopy cleaning in Privett, done properly
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are an EHO comment about the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
In a village or hamlet like Privett, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Privett
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. If the system at a site near Privett fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

What we’re called out for in Privett
Any canopy in Privett that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
What we are most often called out for:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 5 miles west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
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 will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Privett, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Privett questions
Can you come to Privett after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Privett keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Privett within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
