In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Canopy cleaning in Up Somborne, done properly
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy edge and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, across plenum chambers, wall canopies and grease gutters.
Work in a small place like Up Somborne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

When to call us in Up Somborne
However carefully a kitchen in Up Somborne is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Fat running down the front of the hood
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Up Somborne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Up Somborne.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
We do not 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 start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
