How we handle canopy cleaning in Stroud
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is normally in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. If you have filters that clog soon after cleaning and grease channels that no longer drain, we can put it right.
In a small place like Stroud, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 photos, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere as small as Stroud, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Common problems we fix in Stroud
Any canopy in Stroud that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Stroud Mission Church or elsewhere in Stroud, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Canopy cleaning around Stroud
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops across Stroud and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Stroud. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Stroud. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Langrish Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stroud is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles east.

What’s near Stroud
In Stroud, that means kitchens and buildings near The Petersfield School, Morton House School and Seven Stars pub and the streets around them. Stroud’s nearest station is Petersfield station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Petersfield Community Hospital (1.3 miles east) and Clanfield Earthwork (4.2 miles south). Not far away are Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Pidham Hill.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
FAQs for Stroud
Can you work in Stroud outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Stroud keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stroud?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stroud. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
