Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Selborne canopy cleaning
Our technicians work in Selborne on deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Canopy cleaning in Selborne
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have condensation and grease dripping together and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can help, from grease gutters, baffle filters and plenum chambers onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Selborne, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Selborne
Do you work in villages like Selborne?
Yes, Selborne is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Selborne?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Selborne doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Selborne?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
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.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What affects the quote in Selborne
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For canopy cleaning in Selborne, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Selborne kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Selborne, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Selborne sits within the area of 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 Selborne get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Selborne Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Selborne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Selborne.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When to call us in Selborne
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 3.5 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
