Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Clatterford
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. If you are dealing with fat running down the front of the hood and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Clatterford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Bent or broken filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy

Why it’s worth doing now in Clatterford
Getting the canopy cleaned in Clatterford now saves a bigger job later. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Clatterford rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What else we do in Clatterford
Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Clatterford.
- 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.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Clatterford
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Historic houses near Clatterford, such as Carisbrooke Castle about 0.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
