Canopy and hood cleaning in Bursledon, Hampshire

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Canopy cleaning in Bursledon
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. The work covers grease gutters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
For a smaller kitchen near Bursledon, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Bursledon can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote

Bursledon is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Bursledon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 26 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Bursledon, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. In Bursledon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a café or takeaway near Bursledon station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul’s Church or elsewhere in Bursledon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions from Bursledon
Which council inspects kitchens in Bursledon?
In Bursledon, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bursledon?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bursledon. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you cover Bursledon?
Yes. We cover Bursledon and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the quote in Bursledon
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. In a smaller place like Bursledon, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Bursledon
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
