Canopy cleaning in Beaulieu
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers grease gutters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about a hood coated in old grease and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
For a kitchen in or near Beaulieu, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Canopy cleaning around Beaulieu
Beaulieu lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Beaulieu and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In Beaulieu, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child or elsewhere in Beaulieu, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
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.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Beaulieu
A canopy clean in Beaulieu now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours for most canopies, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. If the system at a site near Beaulieu fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Beaulieu
However carefully a kitchen in Beaulieu is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 0.1 miles north), access may need planning.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Beaulieu, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
FAQs for Beaulieu
