Canopy cleaning in Broad Oak, done properly
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. 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. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about greasy streaks across the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
Work in a small place like Broad Oak starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work 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 Broad Oak, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Broad Oak kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broad Oak. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. In Broad Oak, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Broad Oak sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Broad Oak, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mayhill Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Broad Oak questions
Do you work overnight in Broad Oak?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Broad Oak can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broad Oak?
Food hygiene inspections in Broad Oak are carried out by Hart council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before any work starts.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When to call us in Broad Oak
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 3.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
