About our canopy cleaning in Wherwell
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are heavy deposits behind the grease filters and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away.
For a kitchen in or near Wherwell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Wherwell
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Wherwell: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Wherwell?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wherwell. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Wherwell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wherwell included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Allow a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Canopy cleaning around Wherwell
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wherwell. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Wherwell are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Wherwell falls to 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wherwell Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and Holy Cross or anywhere around Wherwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Wherwell is about 3 miles south-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP11, we can carry out canopy cleaning at your premises. Wherwell is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (17 miles or so).
We cover every part of SP11 for canopy cleaning and the streets around it. That includes premises on High Street, Fair Piece and Beech Grove and nearby roads. Nearby, we also carry out canopy cleaning in Wherwell Wood (1 mile north-west), Cottonworth (1 mile south-west), Chilbolton (1 mile south), Fullerton (1 mile south-west) and South Harewood (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (9 miles south-east), Eastleigh (14 miles south), Andover (3 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (13 miles south), Romsey (12 miles south) and Hyde (9 miles south-east).
What’s near Wherwell
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to White Lion Public House and Longstock Park. Wherwell’s nearest station is Andover station, about 3.7 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Andover Museum (3.3 miles north-west) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (4 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Mill Lake and Anton Lakes.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Why act early in Wherwell
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wherwell is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Wherwell
Any canopy in Wherwell 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In a small place like Wherwell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
