Canopy Cleaning in Winnall
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out for commercial sites in Winnall and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Canopy cleaning in Winnall
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are grease filters blocking between washes and canopy gutters full of old fat.
For a smaller kitchen near Winnall, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Winnall
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 28 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Winnall, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Winnall is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Winnall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Winnall is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 0.6 miles south-west. School kitchens, at schools like Winnall Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common problems we fix in Winnall
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Winnall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions from Winnall
Will you come out to Winnall?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Winnall is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Winnall?
The local authority for Winnall is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
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 we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your quote will give a time.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Winnall needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Why it’s worth doing now in Winnall
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Bent or broken filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
