Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woodgreen
We clean canopies in Woodgreen when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on baffle filters, wall canopies and grease gutters.
In a small place like Woodgreen, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. With notice, the visit to Woodgreen can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Canopy cleaning in Woodgreen: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Woodgreen. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Woodgreen sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woodgreen. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Breamore Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 1.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Boniface or elsewhere in Woodgreen, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Woodgreen is in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Woodgreen or further out, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.

Questions from Woodgreen
Which fire authority looks after Woodgreen?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Woodgreen. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Woodgreen?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Woodgreen included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Woodgreen, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodgreen
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
