About our canopy cleaning in Easton
For canopies and hoods in Easton, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. The work covers plenum chambers, island canopies and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are wet, greasy drips from the hood and an EHO comment about the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Easton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Easton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Easton. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs across Easton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Easton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 4.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Agnes' Church or elsewhere in Easton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Easton.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Easton
Which environmental health team covers Easton?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Easton. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes. Easton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check all filters are fitted before service
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
