How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
About our canopy cleaning in Tadley
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can help, from wall canopies, baffle filters and canopy light fittings onwards.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Tadley, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Tadley
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tadley. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Tadley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Tadley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishopswood Junior School or anywhere near Tadley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 5.2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the quote in Tadley
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. 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
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report.

- The canopy is checked from pictures 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.

- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.

How to get a quote
If you need canopy cleaning in Tadley, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep the fan on through service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Questions from Tadley
Can a school canteen extract in Tadley be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tadley. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tadley?
Food hygiene inspections in Tadley are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
When to call us in Tadley
A canopy in Tadley picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Poor capture at the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Condensation running down the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Mary's Church, or anywhere in Tadley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you will receive afterwards
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
