Common questions in Upton Grey
Can you come to Upton Grey after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Upton Grey can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Upton Grey within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upton Grey included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Upton Grey
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you have condensation and grease dripping together and fat running down the front of the hood, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, baffle filters and island canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Upton Grey, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- 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
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.

What we are called out for in Upton Grey
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Upton Grey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Upton Grey can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Fire safety in Upton Grey falls to 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
