Honest limits

Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

  • Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
  • A light fitting that does not work
  • A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field

A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is usually in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. The work covers island canopies, grease gutters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a filter housing caked in grease and filters that clog soon after cleaning.

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. We agree access and timings in advance.

The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Wells-in-the-Field kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wells-in-the-Field. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kitchens in Wells-in-the-Field get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Wells-in-the-Field is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

For schools such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the visit works

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wells-in-the-Field, let us know and we will plan around it.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
  2. Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
  3. Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
  4. Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
  5. You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Different parts, different methods

Grease troughs and gutters

Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.

Pub and hotel kitchens

Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The number of sites or systems
  • The scale of the work

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

We clean when the kitchen is closed: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
