How we handle canopy cleaning in Walhampton
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. If you have condensation running down the canopy and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can help, from baffle filters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Walhampton
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Walhampton
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job 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 Walhampton.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

When to call us in Walhampton
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Poor capture at the hood
Where a hall near United Reform Church, or anywhere in Walhampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
Kitchen extracts in Walhampton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Walhampton is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 43 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 takeaways in Walhampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Walhampton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Lymington Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a café or takeaway near Lymington Town station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Walhampton is about 1 mile east of Lymington, in Hampshire.

Common questions in Walhampton
Who is the fire and rescue service for Walhampton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Walhampton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Walhampton?
Kitchens in Walhampton are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When do you clean the canopy?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
