Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Godshill
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. If you are dealing with a hood coated in old grease and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can help, from plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Godshill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Godshill now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. A planned visit to Godshill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What affects the quote in Godshill
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Godshill can be planned properly.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Godshill questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Godshill?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Godshill. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Godshill?
Fire safety enforcement in Godshill is handled by 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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Are the filters cleaned too?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Common problems we fix in Godshill
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Godshill
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Godshill get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Godshill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near St Giles, or anywhere in Godshill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
