Canopy cleaning in Tangley
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include a hood coated in old grease and a filter housing caked in grease, across plenum chambers, wall canopies and grease gutters.
In a small place like Tangley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Tangley?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Thomas of Canterbury or anywhere around Tangley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Tangley, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. A fault that closes a site in a village like Tangley affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Tangley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
What canopy cleaning looks like in Tangley
Tangley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Tangley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Tangley is about 5 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Sites in Tangley get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tangley
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep the fan on through service
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
