Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Keyhaven
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for condensation running down the canopy and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, on canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Keyhaven starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
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. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Planning a trip to Keyhaven ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Keyhaven.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Common problems we fix in Keyhaven
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Keyhaven questions
Which fire service covers Keyhaven?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Keyhaven. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Keyhaven?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Keyhaven can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Bent or broken filters
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Keyhaven
At about 1 mile from the coast, Keyhaven is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Keyhaven and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Keyhaven is covered by 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Keyhaven, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 3.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
