What affects the quote in Leagreen
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Canopy cleaning in Leagreen, done properly
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have drips from the canopy onto the range and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Leagreen, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Leagreen
Which fire service covers Leagreen?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Leagreen. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Leagreen?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Leagreen gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Leagreen and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Leagreen
What happens if it’s left?
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. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Leagreen now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Part by part
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Canopy cleaning in Leagreen: the local picture
Leagreen is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leagreen, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leagreen. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 3.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Highcliffe Castle, about 4.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Leagreen; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Leagreen, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Sites in Leagreen get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Leagreen is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 15 miles from Leagreen.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Leagreen knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
