Canopy cleaning in Boyatt Wood, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, on baffle filters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings.
Around a smaller place like Boyatt Wood, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Boyatt Wood questions
Will you come out to Boyatt Wood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Boyatt Wood in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Boyatt Wood. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why act early in Boyatt Wood
For a kitchen in Boyatt Wood, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Boyatt Wood
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For canopy cleaning in Boyatt Wood, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Boyatt Wood
However carefully a kitchen in Boyatt Wood is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Boyatt Wood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies

Grease, kitchens and Boyatt Wood
There are about 74 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 36 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boyatt Wood, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Boyatt Wood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Boyatt Wood 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Crestwood Community School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A kitchen near Eastleigh station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a place like Boyatt Wood, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
