Canopy cleaning in Stockbridge, done properly
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Common call-outs are for a sticky, discoloured canopy and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, across wall canopies, island canopies and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Stockbridge, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stockbridge
In Stockbridge, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Questions from Stockbridge
Can the work in Stockbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Stockbridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Stockbridge?
Yes. Stockbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Stockbridge?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
Different parts, different methods
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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Stockbridge
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Stockbridge. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Stockbridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Stockbridge. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Stockbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep the fan on through service
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
How we price canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stockbridge, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
