Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning

Sheet canopy cleaning

We cover Sheet for 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.

  • Condensation and grease dripping together
  • Filters that clog soon after cleaning
  • Grease channels that no longer drain

Canopy cleaning near Sheet

How the job changes from site to site

Pub and hotel kitchens

Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.

Plenums and filter housings

The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.

Canopy cleaning in Sheet, done properly

Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers island canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy edge and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection.

Work in a small place like Sheet starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
  • Clean the baffle filters often
  • Keep every filter in place while cooking
  • Check filters are not leaving gaps

File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.

The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.

What we’re called out for in Sheet

Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • A filter housing caked in grease
  • Condensation and grease dripping together
  • Filters that never seem to stay clean
  • Greasy streaks across the canopy

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around Sheet, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Before you book anyone

  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • What hours they’ll be on site

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Canopy cleaning around Sheet

Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Sheet. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Sheet. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Sheet 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.

A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sheet Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Sheet is about 1 mile north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Sheet

Do you cover smaller places like Sheet?

Yes, Sheet is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Sheet?

Sheet is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?

A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.

What should I send you?

A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?

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.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Leave it or put it right?

Getting the canopy cleaned in Sheet now saves a bigger job later. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. In a small place like Sheet, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Why book with us

  • Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • Full insurance on every job

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. In a small place like Sheet, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
  2. Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
  3. Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
  4. Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
  5. You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Getting a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What a clean won’t put right

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
  • A dirty extract fan further along the system
  • A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
