Canopy Cleaning in Inhurst
Canopy cleaning for Inhurst, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
How we handle canopy cleaning in Inhurst
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. 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’re dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can put it right.
In a small place like Inhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Why act early in Inhurst
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. With notice, the visit to Inhurst can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
What affects the quote in Inhurst
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
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
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
If you need canopy cleaning in Inhurst, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. 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 normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere as small as Inhurst, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Inhurst kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Inhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Inhurst 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. In Inhurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 5.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as The Hurst School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere in Inhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
