Common questions in Winchfield Hurst
Which fire service covers Winchfield Hurst?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Winchfield Hurst. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Winchfield Hurst during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Winchfield Hurst. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
Canopy cleaning in Winchfield Hurst
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. We are often asked to deal with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and canopy gutters full of old fat, on canopy light fittings, island canopies and baffle filters.
In a small place like Winchfield Hurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Grease, kitchens and Winchfield Hurst
Look up Winchfield Hurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Winchfield Hurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Winchfield Hurst. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Winchfield Hurst 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 1.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Winchfield Hurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)

Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Winchfield Hurst?
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
For schools such as Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. In a small place like Winchfield Hurst, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day.

- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Winchfield Hurst
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
