Canopy cleaning in Godshill, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have a hood coated in old grease and condensation running down the canopy, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Godshill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Godshill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Godshill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. The fire and rescue service for Godshill is 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. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Godshill. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Sheat Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Godshill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Godshill Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Godshill is about 5 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Sites in Godshill get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos.

We also cover the places around Godshill: Sandford (1 mile east), Rookley Green (1 mile north-west), Rookley (2 miles north-west), Whiteley Bank (2 miles east) and Merstone (2 miles north).

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Godshill.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Godshill
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Why act early in Godshill
A canopy clean in Godshill now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours for most canopies, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Godshill questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Godshill?
Godshill is in the area of 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Godshill?
Yes, Godshill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
