Canopy cleaning in Barton on Sea
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you’re dealing with overflowing grease troughs and gutters and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Barton on Sea, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
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 happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. For a place like Barton on Sea, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- 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 pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Common questions in Barton on Sea
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Barton on Sea?
Barton on Sea is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Barton on Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before we start.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so service is not affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Barton on Sea
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Bursars and site managers at schools such as New Milton Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Barton on Sea
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Barton on Sea and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
