Canopy and hood cleaning for Rotherwick, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A hood coated in old grease
Why deal with it now?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Canopy cleaning in Rotherwick
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and wall canopies, and people most often call us about grease filters blocking between washes and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Work in a small place like Rotherwick starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
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. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Rotherwick
Who inspects food businesses in Rotherwick?
Food hygiene inspections in Rotherwick are carried out by Hart council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Rotherwick after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Rotherwick doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that’s where grease hides.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
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.
Canopy cleaning in Rotherwick: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Rotherwick. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rotherwick. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rotherwick. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Whitewater Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Rotherwick (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Rotherwick Church or elsewhere in Rotherwick, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Rotherwick
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Rotherwick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- 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 pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
