Canopy cleaning around Brook
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Brook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Brook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Brook sits within the area of 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.1 miles north), access may need planning.

Canopy cleaning in Brook, done properly
Every canopy we clean in Brook gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. Typical jobs include a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and grease dripping from the canopy edge, across wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Brook starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Common questions in Brook
Will you come out to Brook?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brook included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brook?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
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. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Brook?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before any work starts.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brook
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Common problems we fix in Brook
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.
What we are most often called out for:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brook is Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 3.5 miles east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Brook run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brook
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
