Canopy and hood cleaning in Boarhunt, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for Boarhunt, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Condensation and grease dripping together
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
Canopy cleaning in Boarhunt, done properly
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with canopy gutters full of old fat and a hood coated in old grease, across wall canopies, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
For a kitchen in or near Boarhunt, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Boarhunt
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
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.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Boarhunt
Boarhunt lies within about 2 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 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boarhunt. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Fire safety in Boarhunt falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cams Hill School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 2.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Boarhunt, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Why deal with it now?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. A planned visit to Boarhunt is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Boarhunt, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Questions from Boarhunt
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Boarhunt?
It can. Salt air reaches Boarhunt, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Boarhunt during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Boarhunt. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
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.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Boarhunt?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Before and after pictures go into a report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
