Vernham Street canopy cleaning
Looking for canopy cleaning in Vernham Street? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Canopy cleaning in Vernham Street, done properly
We clean canopies in Vernham Street when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. We’re often asked to deal with grease channels that no longer drain and filters that clog soon after cleaning, across island canopies, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Vernham Street now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
What we’re called out for in Vernham Street
Any canopy in Vernham Street that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Vernham Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Vernham Street and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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.

- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive

Advice
FAQs for Vernham Street
Which environmental health team covers Vernham Street?
In Vernham Street, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Vernham Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Vernham Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean when the kitchen is closed: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
