Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Upham, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for commercial sites in Upham and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Keep the fan on through service
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upham
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have grease channels that no longer drain and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Upham questions
Will you come out to Upham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upham included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Upham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Upham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Upham?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Upham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Canopy cleaning around Upham
In Upham, 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Upham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Upham
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Upham
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Common problems we fix in Upham
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Upham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
