How we handle canopy cleaning in Twyford
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have wet, greasy drips from the hood and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Twyford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Twyford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Twyford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. In Twyford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City 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. The fire and rescue service for Twyford is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Twyford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a café or takeaway near Shawford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Twyford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Twyford
Can school kitchens in Twyford be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Twyford. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Twyford?
Food hygiene inspections in Twyford are carried out by Winchester City council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
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.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and scrape it clean.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep the fan on through service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
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.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Twyford, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Twyford
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. In a small place like Twyford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
