Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Tisted
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are filters that clog soon after cleaning and an EHO comment about the canopy.
Somewhere as small as West Tisted, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Canopy cleaning around West Tisted
We cover West Tisted, about 52 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Tisted. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around West Tisted, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like West Tisted.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common problems we fix in West Tisted
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 3.6 miles west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.

Common questions in West Tisted
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in West Tisted?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to West Tisted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean when the kitchen is closed: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
