How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
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.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Salters Heath
If the canopy in Salters Heath is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers grease gutters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about condensation running down the canopy and grease filters blocking between washes.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Salters Heath
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Salters Heath
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
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.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Salters Heath before we set off.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Salters Heath
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Salters Heath?
Food hygiene inspections in Salters Heath are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Salters Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Salters Heath keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
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.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Grease, kitchens and Salters Heath
Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Salters Heath. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 46 miles out from central London, Salters Heath is part of the South East area we work across.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
