Canopy cleaning for Bouldnor and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Check all filters are fitted before service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
About our canopy cleaning in Bouldnor
Every canopy we clean in Bouldnor gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. Typical jobs include a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a sticky, discoloured canopy, on wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a small place like Bouldnor, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Bouldnor?
Any canopy in Bouldnor that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Mottistone Manor, about 4.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Bouldnor; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common questions in Bouldnor
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Bouldnor?
It can. Bouldnor is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you get to a site in Bouldnor?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bouldnor is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Bouldnor?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bouldnor.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice

Bouldnor kitchens: local notes
Bouldnor lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Bouldnor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bouldnor. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Swithin (old), or anywhere in Bouldnor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bouldnor, about 5.2 miles north-west.

When it’s something else

- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)

- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
