Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Rogate, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Rogate. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor

Canopy cleaning in Rogate, done properly
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and condensation running down the canopy, across plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Rogate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Rogate questions
Do you work in villages like Rogate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rogate included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Rogate?
Rogate 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.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Allow an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Your quote will give a time.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
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. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Rogate kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Rogate get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. At about 47 miles from central London, Rogate sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 4.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Rogate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Rogate is about 4 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. If you need canopy cleaning in Rogate, please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere as small as Rogate, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Part by part
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
Every site is different, 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.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Rogate and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Rogate
However carefully a kitchen in Rogate is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
