Canopy cleaning in Droxford
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Typical jobs include grease channels that no longer drain and condensation running down the canopy, on grease gutters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Droxford, 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, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Canopy cleaning in Droxford: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Droxford. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Droxford. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Droxford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Droxford Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
Every address in SO32 is covered for canopy cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your site is on High Street, Union Lane and The Park or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover Brockbridge (1 mile north-east), Meonstoke (1 mile north-east), Soberton (1 mile south), Corhampton (1 mile north) and Exton (2 miles north).

Around Droxford
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Bakers Arms, among other places. A little further out are Bishop's Waltham Museum (3.4 miles west). Open spaces near Droxford include Beacon Hill and St Clair's Meadow.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Droxford?
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or anywhere around Droxford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Droxford
Can you get to a site in Droxford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Droxford is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Droxford?
Droxford is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
When do you clean the canopy?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so service is not affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens on the day
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 before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Droxford, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Droxford
A canopy clean in Droxford now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours for most canopies, 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 Droxford rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What you get with us

What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
