Spanish Green canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning for Spanish Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Spanish Green
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin or anywhere around Spanish Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Spanish Green
Every canopy we clean in Spanish Green gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
In a small place like Spanish Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.

What staff can safely do
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Canopy cleaning in Spanish Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Spanish Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Spanish Green are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Spanish Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Spanish Green can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Related advice
Spanish Green: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Spanish Green?
That is 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.
Is Spanish Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Spanish Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that’s causing it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
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.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens if it’s left?
In Spanish Green, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. With notice, the visit to Spanish Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
