Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in East Meon, Hampshire
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out for businesses, landlords and public buildings in East Meon. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Common problems we fix in East Meon
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Look out for any of the following:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A filter housing caked in grease
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Canopy cleaning in East Meon
Every canopy we clean in East Meon gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. If you are dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Meon.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a place like East Meon, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What canopy cleaning looks like in East Meon
Food hygiene inspections in East Meon are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. We cover East Meon, about 54 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in East Meon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, roughly 13 miles from East Meon.
Canopy cleaning in GU32 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
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.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

East Meon questions
Which council inspects kitchens in East Meon?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Meon. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers East Meon?
East Meon is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
