Sandleheath: your questions answered
Is Sandleheath within the area you cover?
Yes, Sandleheath is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Sandleheath?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sandleheath. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long is a canopy clean?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
About our canopy cleaning in Sandleheath
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with drips from the canopy onto the range and an EHO comment about the canopy, we can help, from grease gutters, plenum chambers and baffle filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Sandleheath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need canopy cleaning in Sandleheath, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What else we do in Sandleheath
Do you need canopy cleaning in Sandleheath?
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
School kitchens, at schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Canopy cleaning in Sandleheath: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Sandleheath, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In Sandleheath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Sandleheath is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Sandleheath Uniting Church, or anywhere in Sandleheath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Sandleheath, such as Breamore House about 3.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
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. A thorough clean puts that right.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Sandleheath is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A canopy clean in Sandleheath now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
