- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

About our canopy cleaning in East Boldre
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with drips from the canopy onto the range and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right, from island canopies, grease gutters and wall canopies onwards.
In a small place like East Boldre, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in East Boldre
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around East Boldre, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

FAQs for East Boldre
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Boldre?
Fire safety enforcement in East Boldre is handled by 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.
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in East Boldre?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, East Boldre gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Canopy cleaning around East Boldre
The coast is only about 3 miles from East Boldre. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of East Boldre, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. East Boldre sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 1.3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 4.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Never run the range with a filter out
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Part by part
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Boldre.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
