Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Harewood
For canopies and hoods in South Harewood, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. Common call-outs are for a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and wet, greasy drips from the hood, across baffle filters, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
For a kitchen in or near South Harewood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to South Harewood and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Canopy cleaning around South Harewood
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around South Harewood, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. South Harewood is covered by 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. In South Harewood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Wherwell Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.3 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
South Harewood is about 4 miles south-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in South Harewood, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and South Harewood is one of them. Southampton is in our area too, around 18 miles away.

Why act early in South Harewood
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. A planned visit to South Harewood is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in South Harewood
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in South Harewood?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in South Harewood. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to South Harewood after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in South Harewood can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in South Harewood?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.

Other services in South Harewood
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Check all filters are fitted before service
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
