The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re 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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to West Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Green
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers plenum chambers, grease gutters and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy edge and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
In a village or hamlet like West Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s simpler to plan the work at West Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
What canopy cleaning looks like in West Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in West Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in West Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers West Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around West Green (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.6 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Green is Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.4 miles east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in West Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
West Green is about 4 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG27, we cover canopy cleaning for commercial sites. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, West Green among them. For sites nearby, see our Reading page, about 11 miles away.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

West Green: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers West Green?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in West Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers West Green?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What staff can safely do
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 is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
