How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
About our canopy cleaning in Titchfield
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and poor capture at the hood, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Titchfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
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.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Clean the baffle filters often
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Titchfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Titchfield
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Grease, kitchens and Titchfield
The coast is only about 2 miles from Titchfield. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways in and around Titchfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. The fire and rescue service for Titchfield 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Titchfield Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fareham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Titchfield, about 2.3 miles north-west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Titchfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Titchfield is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for canopy cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 7 miles away.

When it’s something else
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Titchfield
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Titchfield?
It can, as Titchfield is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Which fire service covers Titchfield?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Titchfield. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
