About our canopy cleaning in Toothill
If the canopy in Toothill is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers baffle filters, grease gutters and plenum chambers, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Somewhere as small as Toothill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Toothill
In Toothill, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. If the system at a site near Toothill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
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.
What affects the quote in Toothill
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Toothill.
- The canopy is checked from photos 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Toothill questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Toothill?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Toothill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Toothill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Toothill needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your quote will give a time.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Toothill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Toothill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Toothill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Toothill sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Historic houses near Toothill, such as South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St John, or anywhere in Toothill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
