Grease, kitchens and Sway
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sway. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sway. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Sway falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as St Luke's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Luke's Church or elsewhere in Sway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What’s near Sway
Around Sway, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Forest Heath Hotel, among other places. Sway has its own railway station: Sway station.

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sway
For canopies and hoods in Sway, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. The work covers plenum chambers, grease gutters and island canopies, and people most often call us about condensation and grease dripping together and canopy gutters full of old fat.
Around a smaller place like Sway, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Booking now means the visit to Sway is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Photo reports with every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Sway
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sway?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Sway out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
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 and we will typically reply within one working day.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that’s where grease hides.
Which canopies and hoods 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.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Sway when you book.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
