Leave it or put it right?
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Steep Marsh is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

About our canopy cleaning in Steep Marsh
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with wet, greasy drips from the hood and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, across plenum chambers, island canopies and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Steep Marsh, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Steep Marsh, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the quote in Steep Marsh
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Steep Marsh?
However carefully a kitchen in Steep Marsh is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Steep Marsh, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether they recommend a next date
Steep Marsh: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Steep Marsh?
Fire safety enforcement in Steep Marsh 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.
Is Steep Marsh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
When do you clean the canopy?
We clean when the kitchen is closed: after service, overnight or before opening. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Steep Marsh and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
