- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About our canopy cleaning in Laverstoke
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy edge and canopy gutters full of old fat, on wall canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings.
In a small place like Laverstoke, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
What affects the quote in Laverstoke
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. If the system at a site near Laverstoke fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every job surveyed first
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Laverstoke kitchens: local notes
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Laverstoke. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Laverstoke get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Testbourne Community School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicholas' Church, or anywhere in Laverstoke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is 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 part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Laverstoke is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Common questions in Laverstoke
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Laverstoke?
In Laverstoke, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Laverstoke?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Laverstoke included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
