Canopy cleaning in Ramsdean: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Ramsdean are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. About 52 miles out from central London, Ramsdean is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ramsdean, about 2.2 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Langrish Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Ramsdean is about 2 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU32, we can carry out canopy cleaning at your premises. Ramsdean is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for canopy cleaning. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 13 miles away.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
What we’re called out for in Ramsdean
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Ramsdean, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Ramsdean
Is Ramsdean within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ramsdean included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ramsdean?
Ramsdean is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere like Ramsdean, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
What affects the quote in Ramsdean
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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 make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
