How we handle canopy cleaning in Hordle
We clean canopies in Hordle when the kitchen is not cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you have grease dripping from the canopy edge and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Hordle are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extracts in Hordle
Hordle is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hordle. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Fire safety in Hordle falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Highcliffe Castle, about 4.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Hordle; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Hordle, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Hordle
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a site near Hordle, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Hordle
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. When a site near Hordle shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Hordle questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hordle?
Hordle is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Hordle?
Yes, Hordle is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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, and we can quote to improve the access.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Other services in Hordle
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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’s our job.
What we are called out for in Hordle
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
