Thedden canopy cleaning
Our technicians work in Thedden on canopy and hood cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Thedden.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thedden
We clean canopies in Thedden when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Typical jobs include a filter housing caked in grease and condensation and grease dripping together, on baffle filters, canopy light fittings and island canopies.
In a small place like Thedden, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
Part by part
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thedden
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. In a place like Thedden, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Thedden
Thedden is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. The fire and rescue service for Thedden is 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter's, or anywhere in Thedden, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 1 mile west), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Thedden, about 1.6 miles east.
Thedden is about 2 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Thedden or further out, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Reading, about 21 miles away.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thedden
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Questions from Thedden
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Thedden?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Thedden. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Thedden after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Thedden needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you cover Thedden?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Thedden.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that’s where grease hides.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
