About our canopy cleaning in The Hummicks
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can help, from plenum chambers, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like The Hummicks, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Hummicks
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Bent or broken filters
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters

Kitchen extracts in The Hummicks
The Hummicks is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around The Hummicks, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Food hygiene inspections in The Hummicks are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near The Hummicks, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 0.9 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child, or anywhere in The Hummicks, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
The Hummicks is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Sites in The Hummicks get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. We also work in Southampton, around 7 miles away.
Canopy cleaning in SO42 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If your site is just outside The Hummicks, we cover Bailey's Hard (1 mile south-west), Beaulieu (1 mile north-west), East Boldre (2 miles west), Furzey Lodge (2 miles west) and Dibden Purlieu (3 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (12 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north), Fareham (11 miles east), Totton (8 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (12 miles north) and Hedge End (9 miles north-east).
Around The Hummicks
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The New Forest Academy and The Montagu Arms and the streets around them. The Hummicks’s nearest station is Beaulieu Road station, about 4.2 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (1.1 miles north-west) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (5.9 miles south-west).
Common problems we fix in The Hummicks
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Condensation and grease dripping together
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
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 are 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. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to The Hummicks run smoothly.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.

Questions from The Hummicks
Which environmental health team covers The Hummicks?
In The Hummicks, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in The Hummicks?
The Hummicks is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
