Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
About our canopy cleaning in Wishanger Common
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a sticky, discoloured canopy and condensation running down the canopy, across island canopies, baffle filters and canopy light fittings.
Somewhere as small as Wishanger Common, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Wishanger Common
Can you get to a site in Wishanger Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Wishanger Common?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Wishanger Common can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Never run the range with a filter out
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Wishanger Common?
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Look out for any of the following:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Wishanger Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Wishanger Common
Wishanger Common is covered by Surrey 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 Wishanger Common are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Wishanger Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What’s near Wishanger Common
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Flashes and the streets around them. The closest station to Wishanger Common is Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (3.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Farnham Heath and Gibbet Hill.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.

What else we do in Wishanger Common
What affects the quote in Wishanger Common
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us 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
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
