About our canopy cleaning in Cranmore
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and condensation and grease dripping together, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Cranmore, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Cranmore
Will you come out to Cranmore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cranmore included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Cranmore in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cranmore. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Cranmore?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What we’re called out for in Cranmore
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 5.9 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere like Cranmore, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote

What affects the quote in Cranmore
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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 will price it together.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Canopy cleaning in Cranmore: the local picture
Cranmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cranmore. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Cranmore is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cranmore (Swainston Manor is about 3.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Cranmore is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Cranmore gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover 125 places, Cranmore among them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (14 miles or so).
Here we cover the PO41 postcode area for canopy cleaning. We cover sites on Solent Road, East Close and Cranmore Avenue and nearby roads. Neighbouring places we cover for canopy cleaning include Hamstead (1 mile north-east), Shalfleet (1 mile south-east), Bouldnor (1 mile west), Yarmouth (2 miles west) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles south-east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cranmore
Getting the canopy cleaned in Cranmore now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, 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 Cranmore rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
