How we handle canopy cleaning in Upper Enham
We clean canopies in Upper Enham when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you are dealing with condensation and grease dripping together and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can put it right, from plenum chambers, wall canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Enham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What affects the quote in Upper Enham
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
FAQs for Upper Enham
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Upper Enham?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Upper Enham?
In Upper Enham, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.

It takes a few hours for most canopies. Your quote will give a time.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
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. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Upper Enham knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Canopy cleaning around Upper Enham
Look up Upper Enham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Upper Enham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Enham are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Upper Enham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint George, or anywhere in Upper Enham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Upper Enham is about 3 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
