In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Canopy cleaning in Test Valley
For canopies and hoods in Test Valley, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. If you have overflowing grease troughs and gutters and an EHO comment about the canopy, we can help, from canopy light fittings, baffle filters and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Test Valley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Test Valley
Can you get to a site in Test Valley?
Yes. Test Valley 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.
Can you come to Test Valley after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Test Valley
Test Valley, about 59 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Test Valley sits within the area of 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.
Historic houses near Test Valley, such as Stargroves about 2.7 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
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.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Test Valley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Why it’s worth doing now in Test Valley
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Test Valley
Grease does not build up any differently in Test Valley: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Test Valley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Test Valley
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Test Valley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
