How we handle canopy cleaning in Titchfield Park
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with canopy gutters full of old fat and filters that never seem to stay clean, on grease gutters, canopy light fittings and baffle filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Titchfield Park.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work

Kitchen extracts in Titchfield Park
At about 3 miles from the coast, Titchfield Park is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Titchfield Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Titchfield Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Kitchens in Titchfield Park get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John, or anywhere in Titchfield Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as St Anthony's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Titchfield Park: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Titchfield Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Titchfield Park?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Titchfield Park gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean when you’re not cooking, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:

- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system

Why it’s worth doing now in Titchfield Park
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Somewhere as small as Titchfield Park, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
