Canopy and hood cleaning in Brookgreen, Isle of Wight
Our technicians work in Brookgreen on canopy cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. For a village or hamlet like Brookgreen, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
How we handle canopy cleaning in Brookgreen
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you are dealing with a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can help, from grease gutters, plenum chambers and baffle filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Brookgreen
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Leave it or put it right?
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 environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. With notice, the visit to Brookgreen can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not 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.
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. Leave those to us.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
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.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.

What else we do in Brookgreen
Brookgreen: your questions answered
Is Brookgreen within the area you cover?
Yes, Brookgreen is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Brookgreen?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Brookgreen than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood doesn’t take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Brookgreen
Brookgreen is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Brookgreen. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Brookgreen sits within the area of 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Brookgreen, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Brookgreen
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 0.9 miles north-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
