What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Ramsdell, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and grease dripping from the canopy edge.
In a village or hamlet like Ramsdell, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re 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, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
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. Holidays and weekends work well.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Ramsdell
Any canopy in Ramsdell that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A hood coated in old grease
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Condensation and grease dripping together
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Ramsdell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first

What else we do in Ramsdell
What happens if it’s left?
In Ramsdell, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. If the system at a site near Ramsdell fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Questions from Ramsdell
Who inspects food businesses in Ramsdell?
Kitchens in Ramsdell are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Ramsdell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ramsdell included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What affects the quote in Ramsdell
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
