About our canopy cleaning in Lymington
We clean canopies in Lymington when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters, and people most often call us about wet, greasy drips from the hood and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Lymington, losing a day’s trade to cleaning isn’t an option, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. The sooner the work is done, the simpler the job for a site in Lymington.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lymington
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Lymington: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Lymington out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lymington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Lymington?
It can. Lymington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most canopies. For a site in a town like Lymington, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Canopy cleaning in Lymington: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Lymington. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Lymington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 42 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lymington. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lymington. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Lymington
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, or anywhere in Lymington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
