Canopy cleaning in Upper Burgate
For canopies and hoods in Upper Burgate, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. The work covers wall canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are a sticky, discoloured canopy and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
In a small place like Upper Burgate, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Upper Burgate
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Upper Burgate: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
Where a hall near Woodgreen Methodist Church, or anywhere in Upper Burgate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What hours they’ll be on site
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
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’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Upper Burgate
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Upper Burgate?
The local authority for Upper Burgate is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Upper Burgate?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Upper Burgate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes a few hours for most canopies. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Upper Burgate.
- 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.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote

Advice
Kitchen extracts in Upper Burgate
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Upper Burgate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Upper Burgate. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Upper Burgate falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Upper Burgate (Breamore House is about 1.6 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
