Canopy cleaning for sites in Romsey

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Romsey

The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. Common call-outs are for a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and fat running down the front of the hood, across island canopies, baffle filters and canopy light fittings.

For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Romsey, losing a day’s trade to cleaning isn’t an option, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Romsey

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • The times the site is available
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • How many systems or sites are involved

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Different parts, different methods

Pub and hotel kitchens

In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.

Grease troughs and gutters

Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.

Canopy cleaning in Romsey: the local picture

There are about 41 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Romsey, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Fire safety in Romsey falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Romsey get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Where a hall near St Swithun's Church, or anywhere in Romsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you cook for passing trade around Romsey station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Romsey Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Before the visit, a few pictures of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Romsey.

  1. We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
  2. The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
  3. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
  4. We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
  5. Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.

Before we arrive

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Ask for a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When it’s something else

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
  • Electrical faults in the canopy
  • Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Wall canopies
  • Plenum chambers
  • Island canopies
  • Canopy light fittings
  • Baffle filters
  • Grease gutters

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Report new drips or smells from the canopy
  • Leave the extract running until cooking stops
  • Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
  • Keep grease cups and drawers emptied

After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.

Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.

Multi-site and managed buildings

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Romsey

Which environmental health team covers Romsey?

Kitchens in Romsey are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Do you work at weekends in Romsey?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Romsey keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

Will I get a report after the canopy clean?

You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.

Who is the responsible person?

The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

What do you do to protect the area?

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
