Avon Castle canopy cleaning
Professional canopy cleaning in and around Avon Castle, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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 part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Avon Castle run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Canopy cleaning in Avon Castle
If the canopy in Avon Castle is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a hood coated in old grease and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on plenum chambers, island canopies and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Avon Castle starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Bent or broken filters
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor

What we work on in Avon Castle
- Baffle filters

- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Avon Castle: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Avon Castle?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Avon Castle?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Avon Castle is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Are the filters cleaned too?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

When to call us in Avon Castle
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
A hospital like St Leonard's Hospital, about 2.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For canopy cleaning in Avon Castle, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Canopy cleaning around Avon Castle
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Avon Castle. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Avon Castle 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. In Avon Castle, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.5 miles south-east), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like St Ives Primary & Nursery School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
