About our canopy cleaning in South Wonston
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for overflowing grease troughs and gutters and fat running down the front of the hood, on baffle filters, island canopies and grease gutters.
For a kitchen in or near South Wonston, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

South Wonston questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for South Wonston?
Fire safety enforcement in South Wonston is handled by 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 get to a site in South Wonston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
When do you clean the canopy?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so service is not affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
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.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that is often the dirtiest part.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A light fitting that does not work
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in South Wonston
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to South Wonston is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What the work involves, part by part
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. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

In South Wonston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City 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.
