Hampshire · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy Cleaning in Lockerley
One call covers canopy and hood cleaning in Lockerley, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Canopy cleaning in Lockerley, done properly
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you are dealing with grease filters blocking between washes and a hood coated in old grease, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Lockerley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Lockerley questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lockerley?
Fire safety enforcement in Lockerley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Lockerley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lockerley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that is where grease hides.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are the filters cleaned too?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a village like Lockerley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- 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.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Canopy cleaning in Lockerley: the local picture
Kitchens in Lockerley get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Lockerley. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Romsey Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lockerley, about 4.9 miles south-east.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Lockerley?
However carefully a kitchen in Lockerley is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John or elsewhere in Lockerley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
