About our canopy cleaning in Chillerton
Every canopy we clean in Chillerton 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. If you have grease channels that no longer drain and poor capture at the hood, we can help, from grease gutters, island canopies and plenum chambers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Chillerton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chillerton
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Chillerton is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
What we are called out for in Chillerton
Grease does not build up any differently in Chillerton: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
For schools such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What canopy cleaning looks like in Chillerton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chillerton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Chillerton get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Chillerton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitecroft Hospital (about 1.5 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Olave's Church or elsewhere in Chillerton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a village like Chillerton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Chillerton: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Chillerton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chillerton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Chillerton?
Chillerton is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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 the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
