How we handle canopy cleaning in Woodside
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have greasy streaks across the canopy and condensation and grease dripping together, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Woodside, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Woodside is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When to call us in Woodside
A canopy in Woodside picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Poor capture at the hood
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Woodside, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Woodside
Do you work overnight in Woodside?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Woodside can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Woodside?
Woodside is in the area of 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.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
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. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Is Woodside in your area?
Yes. Woodside is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. A fault that closes a site in a village like Woodside affects everyone who depends on it.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Canopy cleaning around Woodside
Food hygiene inspections in Woodside are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Woodside falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodside
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
