How we handle canopy cleaning in Wallington
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. We are often asked to deal with condensation running down the canopy and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, on plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a smaller place like Wallington, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
A canopy clean in Wallington now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours for most canopies, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Booking now means the visit to Wallington is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What affects the quote in Wallington
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For canopy cleaning in Wallington, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Wallington
Which council inspects kitchens in Wallington?
In Wallington, it’s Fareham 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.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wallington in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wallington. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Before and after pictures go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them because that’s often the dirtiest part.
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, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Canopy cleaning in Wallington: the local picture
Wallington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses across Wallington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wallington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Wykeham House School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Wallington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Wallington is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. We carry out canopy cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Wallington and the rest of Hampshire. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small.
Every address in PO16, PO14 and PO17 is covered for canopy cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on Bath Lane, Drift Road and Osborn Road and nearby roads. With the A32 close by, Wallington is easy for our technicians to reach at any hour. Close by, we work in Fareham Common (1 mile south-west), North Fareham (1 mile north), Fareham (1 mile west), Boarhunt (2 miles north-east) and Crockerhill (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (4 miles south), Havant (8 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-west), Horndean (8 miles north-east), Totton (15 miles west) and Chandler's Ford (13 miles north-west).
Around Wallington
Around Wallington, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Harrison Primary School, Cams Hill School and The Golden Lion Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Fareham station, about 1 mile west. A little further out are Fareham Shopping Centre (less than half a mile west) and Knowle Hospital (2.3 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Portsdown Hill and West of the River Alver.
How it works
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Around Wallington, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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 photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Wallington and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Wallington
Any canopy in Wallington that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
