Canopy cleaning in The Mint
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you have grease channels that no longer drain and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can help, from island canopies, baffle filters and canopy light fittings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near The Mint, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in The Mint
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central The Mint. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kitchens in The Mint get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in The Mint falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Hope Church or elsewhere in The Mint, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A kitchen near Liss station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
The Mint is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in The Mint, we can take on canopy cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to The Mint.
- The canopy is checked from photos 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
The Mint: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in The Mint?
Food hygiene inspections in The Mint are carried out by East Hampshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for The Mint?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for The Mint. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
Common problems we fix in The Mint
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to The Mint, about 3.9 miles north.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
