Canopy and hood cleaning in Bull Hill, Hampshire

- Greasy streaks across the canopy

What affects the quote in Bull Hill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Canopy cleaning in Bull Hill
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have grease channels that no longer drain and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Bull Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bull Hill run smoothly.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
Bull Hill: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bull Hill?
In Bull Hill, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does the sea air around Bull Hill make a difference to canopy cleaning?
It can. Bull Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
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.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. In a place like Bull Hill, 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 work begins.

When to call us in Bull Hill
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Bull Hill: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 1.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Clean the baffle filters often
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
