Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Frostlane
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Common call-outs are for a hood coated in old grease and condensation and grease dripping together, on baffle filters, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Frostlane is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What canopy cleaning looks like in Frostlane
Frostlane lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses across Frostlane and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Frostlane falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Royal South Hants Hospital, about 4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Waterside Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Anne or elsewhere in Frostlane, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Frostlane: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Frostlane?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can a school canteen extract in Frostlane be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Frostlane. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Is Frostlane in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Frostlane, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What affects the quote in Frostlane
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For canopy cleaning in Frostlane, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Frostlane rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
