How we handle canopy cleaning in Wolverton
If the canopy in Wolverton is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and filters that clog soon after cleaning, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Wolverton starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens if it’s left?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. If the system at a site near Wolverton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Wolverton
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Poor capture at the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Catherine or anywhere around Wolverton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. In a small place like Wolverton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, alongside our reports.

How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
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.
Wolverton: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Wolverton?
Fire safety enforcement in Wolverton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Wolverton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wolverton is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
