What canopy cleaning looks like in Froxfield Green
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Froxfield Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. About 51 miles out from central London, Froxfield Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter on the Green or elsewhere in Froxfield Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Froxfield Green
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you’re dealing with condensation and grease dripping together and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can help.
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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
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.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Questions from Froxfield Green
Do you work overnight in Froxfield Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Froxfield Green needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Froxfield Green?
That’s 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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job 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 Froxfield Green.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Related advice
When to call us in Froxfield Green
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
For schools such as Froxfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they recommend a next date
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Froxfield Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need canopy cleaning in Froxfield Green, phone us on 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. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
