Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Bordon, Hampshire
For canopy cleaning in Bordon, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
About our canopy cleaning in Bordon
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include drips from the canopy onto the range and condensation running down the canopy, across island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings.
For a smaller kitchen near Bordon, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Never run the range with a filter out
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Other services in Bordon
Canopy cleaning around Bordon
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Bordon, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kitchens in Bordon get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Bordon is 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Bordon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bordon Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Around Bordon
In Bordon, that means kitchens and buildings near Mill Chase Academy. For rail, the closest station is Liphook station, about 4.1 miles south-east. A little further out are The Romany Museum (3.6 miles west) and Chase Community Hospital (0.6 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Selborne Hill and Deadwater Valley.
Common problems we fix in Bordon
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 0.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
FAQs for Bordon
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bordon?
Bordon 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 school kitchens in Bordon be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bordon. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Around Bordon, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Bordon at a time that suits you.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
