Canopy and hood cleaning in Upper Street, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning in Upper Street from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Poor capture at the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
About our canopy cleaning in Upper Street
Every canopy we clean in Upper Street gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. If you have filters that clog soon after cleaning and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can help, from grease gutters, plenum chambers and wall canopies onwards.
In a small place like Upper Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Street
In Upper Street, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: 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.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Questions from Upper Street
Will you come out to Upper Street?
Yes. Upper Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Upper Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Upper Street is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
Each 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 part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Street.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Grease, kitchens and Upper Street
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Upper Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Upper Street. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Street are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Breamore Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Upper Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Breamore House, about 0.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Upper Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Upper Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
