FAQs for Drayton
Can the work in Drayton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Drayton?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Drayton. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Canopy cleaning in Drayton
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you’re dealing with a hood coated in old grease and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, we can help, from island canopies, canopy light fittings and wall canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Drayton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

About 54 miles out from central London, Drayton is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Drayton are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Common problems we fix in Drayton
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Poor capture at the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Drayton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How we price canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
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, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Drayton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
