- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Do you need canopy cleaning in West Meon?
Any canopy in West Meon that is 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Historic houses near West Meon, such as Hinton Ampner House about 3.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Canopy cleaning in West Meon
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with a filter housing caked in grease and fat running down the front of the hood, we can put it right, from plenum chambers, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as West Meon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and West Meon
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Meon. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. The fire and rescue service for West Meon is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in West Meon are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in West Meon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
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’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

West Meon questions
Which environmental health team covers West Meon?
Kitchens in West Meon are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. 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 West Meon in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of West Meon, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to West Meon.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
