About our canopy cleaning in King's Somborne
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers island canopies, canopy light fittings and baffle filters, and people most often call us about an EHO comment about the canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Somewhere as small as King's Somborne, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Canopy cleaning around King's Somborne
In King's Somborne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. King's Somborne sits within the area of 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in King's Somborne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.2 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Around King's Somborne

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Clean the baffle filters often
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Common problems we fix in King's Somborne
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A hood coated in old grease
For schools such as King's Somborne Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

King's Somborne questions
Which council inspects kitchens in King's Somborne?
Food hygiene inspections in King's Somborne are carried out by Test Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in King's Somborne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, King's Somborne included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Island canopies

Managing agents and facilities teams in King's Somborne
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to King's Somborne run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- 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.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
