How we price canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
About our canopy cleaning in Weeke
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers canopy light fittings, grease gutters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Weeke gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Weeke
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Weeke, about 0.7 miles south.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Canopy cleaning in Weeke: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 101 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Weeke. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Weeke. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Weeke. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Matthew or anywhere around Weeke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Winchester station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Weeke is about 1 mile north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the SO22 postcode area, we can carry out canopy cleaning at your premises. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
All of SO22 and SO23 is within our area for canopy cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes premises on Elm Road, Dean Lane and Links Road and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Weeke, we cover Harestock (1 mile north), Hyde (1 mile east), Abbotts Barton (1 mile east), Winchester (1 mile south-east) and Littleton (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastleigh (7 miles south), Andover (12 miles north-west), Totton (13 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (6 miles south), Hedge End (11 miles south) and Romsey (8 miles south-west).
Around Weeke
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Peter Symonds College, St. Cross Park and The Railway Inn, among other places. Weeke’s nearest station is Winchester station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Winchester Castle (0.9 miles south-east) and Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum (0.8 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Twyford Down and Winnall Moors.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 work takes a few hours for most canopies. Everything the job in Weeke needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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 pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Why act early in Weeke
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Bent or broken filters
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Weeke
Can you work in Weeke outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Weeke needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Weeke?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Weeke. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in Weeke?
Yes. We work in Weeke and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
