Managing agents and facilities teams in Purbrook
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Canopy cleaning in Purbrook, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, on baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
Kitchens in towns like Purbrook are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When to call us in Purbrook
However carefully a kitchen in Purbrook is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Poor capture at the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 3.3 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Work in Purbrook is usually booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Grease, kitchens and Purbrook
Purbrook is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 29 takeaways across Purbrook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In Purbrook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havant council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (about 1.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John or anywhere around Purbrook, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Purbrook
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Purbrook?
Purbrook is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Purbrook?
In Purbrook, it’s Havant council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long is a canopy clean?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You will know before any work starts.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Never run the range with a filter out
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
