Canopy and hood cleaning in Liss, Hampshire
Canopy cleaning for Liss, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
How we handle canopy cleaning in Liss
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and plenum chambers, and common reasons people get in touch are grease channels that no longer drain and grease filters blocking between washes.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Liss gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Bent or broken filters
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Liss
Can you come to Liss after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Liss can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Liss?
Yes, Liss is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you accredited?
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’re fully insured.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A site near Liss typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Liss
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
A kitchen near Liss station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
