Canopy and hood cleaning in Dibden Purlieu, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for Dibden Purlieu, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Dibden Purlieu needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dibden Purlieu
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can put it right, from island canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Dibden Purlieu gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Dibden Purlieu: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Dibden Purlieu?
It can, as Dibden Purlieu is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Is Dibden Purlieu within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dibden Purlieu included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Dibden Purlieu
At about 2 miles from the coast, Dibden Purlieu is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Dibden Purlieu. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Dibden Purlieu falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wildground Infant School or anywhere near Dibden Purlieu, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Beaulieu Palace House, about 2.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Dibden Purlieu; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Andrew's Church and Centre or anywhere around Dibden Purlieu, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. A planned visit to Dibden Purlieu fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
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 make a difference.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What else we do in Dibden Purlieu
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
