Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Warsash canopy cleaning
We cover Warsash for canopy cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Warsash
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies, and people most often call us about a hood coated in old grease and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Warsash gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. For a site near Warsash, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Warsash
Warsash is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Warsash, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Warsash. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy or anywhere near Warsash, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Warsash is Coldeast, about 0.9 miles north.

What a clean will not put right

- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out

Common problems we fix in Warsash
Any canopy in Warsash that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Warsash, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
