What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Canopy cleaning in Lord's Wood, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for a filter housing caked in grease and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on plenum chambers, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Lord's Wood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere like Lord's Wood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Canopy cleaning in Lord's Wood: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways across Lord's Wood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Food hygiene inspections in Lord's Wood are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. 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. Fire safety in Lord's Wood falls to 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lord's Wood, about 4.1 miles south. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Lord's Wood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Lord's Wood is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Lord's Wood gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Lord's Wood among them. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.

Leave it or put it right?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. A planned visit to Lord's Wood is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
