Canopy and hood cleaning in Brook, Isle of Wight
Canopy cleaning for Brook, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Canopy cleaning in Brook
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. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a hood coated in old grease and grease channels that no longer drain.
In a small place like Brook, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Brook
At about 1 mile from the coast, Brook is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Brook on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Brook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In Brook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Brook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brook (Mottistone Manor is about 1.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Brook is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We carry out canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Brook and the rest of the Isle of Wight. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby, about 19 miles away.
Canopy cleaning in PO30 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Carpenters Lane and Coastguard Lane and nearby roads. If your site is just outside Brook, we cover Dunsbury (1 mile north), Brookgreen (1 mile south-east), Hulverstone (1 mile east), Shalcombe (1 mile north-east) and Chilton Green (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.
Around Brook
Other landmarks nearby include Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (2.5 miles north-east) and Yarmouth Castle (4.3 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Westover Down.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Questions from Brook
Can you work in Brook outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Brook doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Brook?
It can, as Brook is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Brook?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brook
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a place like Brook, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brook
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Brook.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
