How we handle canopy cleaning in Lordington
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. We are often asked to deal with canopy gutters full of old fat and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, on island canopies, wall canopies and canopy light fittings.
Somewhere as small as Lordington, 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.
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, and we are fully insured.

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.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
How we price canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lordington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What else we do in Lordington
Common problems we fix in Lordington
Any canopy in Lordington that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 4.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
